The shifting of the Metro 3 car shed from Aarey Milk Colony to Kanjurmarg has received a mixed response from Mumbaikars. Some support the decision, some oppose it, and others don't care about the relocation, as long as the construction of the much-delayed project is expedited and they get to ride the 'tube' at the earliest. With the new development, a further delay is certain, but considering that the Thackeray government's decision is final and it is resolved to fast-forward in the redesigned format, expecting them to reduce the delay significantly isn't out of place in the current scheme of things.

Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his minister son Aaditya have led the change. Now they are expected to take on the challenge of dedicating the service to the people of Mumbai as early as possible, and not by the delayed deadline of 2025 that the opposition has projected. The Phase-1 (Aarey-BKC), in its original design, was expected to be operational in December 2021, and Phase-2 (BKC-Cuffe Parade) in June 2022. Assuming that the one-year-old MVA remains politically stable and rules through a five-year-term, people may expect it to not only complete Metro 3 ahead of a new (government) deadline, but also all other big ticket metro and infra projects that kicked off in the erstwhile Sena-BJP government, and the MVA chose to implement in their original format.
