While the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA)-Scoomi authorities claim that the performance of the Monorail-1 on Wadala-Chembur route has been good despite services facing technical issues, transport experts feel it was MMRDA’s biggest blunder to bring the rail to Mumbai as it is not capable of mass transportation.

A transport expert raised concerns over the quality of Monorail spare parts. Many broke down, leading to snags in the trains that are in operation. As a solution, spare parts were taken off new rakes, which are at present on standby, and installed in the currently operational rakes, thus leaving the new ones incomplete.
