For the first time in the last few years, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) made a surplus profit of Rs 45 lakh over the last month. The body has two autorickshaw strikes and the recent breakdown of the local trains due to the fire in the signalling system near Vidyavihar station to thank for the money it made, since commuters had no option but to use its services.

However, NMMT could have made a larger profit had it plied all its buses, which it couldn’t, since most of the CNG buses in its fleet break down regularly.
