<p>MMRDA may be planning to approach the Supreme Court over the report submitted by Fare Fixation Committee to MMOPL which might allow the operator of the 11.07 km Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) Metro line one to increase fares</p>
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) seems to be unhappy with the report submitted by Fare Fixation Committee to Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) which might allow the operator of the 11.07 km Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) Metro line one to increase fares and may be contemplating approaching the Supreme Court in the matter.
It is said that the FFC in its report submitted to MMOPL on Thursday evening had stated that the operator could increase the fares rates between Rs 10 and Rs 110. At present the commuters using the VAG Metro corridor pay fares of Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 30 and Rs 40. Around 2.8 lakh passengers use the VAG metro everyday and so it might not increase the fares substantially but it might gradually increase the rates.
