Thane has come up with the idea of a 'Chhota Metro' to provide feeder service to MMRDA's Green Line 4 that will run between Wadala and Kasarvadavali in the neighbouring city. The Line 4 is a 32.32 km-long elevated corridor with 32 stations.

A proposal for a Light Metro Transit or Light Rapid Transit (LRT) ring route was listed for discussion at Thane civic body's General Body meeting on Friday. The move on the Light Metro, which costs less than a regular Metro corridor, follows the recommendations of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
