Taking a serious note of the problems and inconvenience faced by women commuters traveling in the same compartment as men in the 11.04-km long Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) metro corridor, the Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) on Wednesday announced that it would reserve the major portion of one coach on each four-coach train for women.

The new arrangement will be effective from August 15, wherein women commuters will have extra comfort. The space will be reserved in the Versova-end coach in all Up and Down trains.
