The monorail phase II corridor from Jacob Circle to Wadala will finally be thrown open to the public on Monday, after having missed several deadlines in the past. The onboard communication system inside the trains is, however, not yet functional, which means that authorities will use walkie-talkies like they do in the currently operational four monorail trains.

"The trail runs between Wadala and Jacob Circle have been successful and we are expecting that the footfall on the entire corridor will increase once this phase is operational," said an MMRDA official, adding that the issues with the onboard communication system "will be sorted out soon and there is nothing to worry about."
