MMRDA proposes fare fixation committee for Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has proposed the formation of a Fare Fixation Committee (FFC) for Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7, an official statement said on May 22.
It said, "In a move aligned with statutory provisions, the MMRDA has proposed the constitution of a Fare Fixation Committee under Section 33 and 34 (I) of the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002."
The step pertains specifically to Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7, currently operated by Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL), it said.
The committee will be responsible for reviewing and recommending fare structures for passengers using these metro lines. This step is being taken to ensure that fare decisions are made in a transparent and lawful manner, and does not mean there will be an immediate fare change, the MMRDA said.
Metro Lines 2A and 7, which began operations on 2 April 2022, are currently managed by the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL). With a weekday ridership of around 2.65 lakh passengers, these metro lines are a crucial part of Mumbai’s public transport network.
