The plan to bring seamless integration between the underground Metro 3 with the elevated Metro 6 line via a ramp is no longer in existence.

Earlier, when the depot was shifted to Kanjurmarrg it was proposed to construct the ramp from Aarey and take the underground metro to the elevated Metro 6 corridor. This means Metro 3 rakes would also be used on the Metro 6 line. The merger was proposed between Seepz and Saki Vihar stations. This merger was for facilitating passengers to seamlessly use the two lines.

Save Aarey conservation group activist Zoru Bhathena said, “The underground Metro 3 line always had an overground connection with the elevated Metro 6 line at JVLR. Now, just to prove that the lines cannot connect, they are deleting this inter-connecting line, resulting in commuters having to walk over 900 metres to change from Metro 3 to Metro 6 lines."

Ashwini Bhide, managing director of Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation(MMRC), when asked about the metro corridors integration plan, replied, “Commuters can walk and reach the elevated corridor."

We request the authorities to put aside their ego and arrogance in the larger interest of the masses. Please do not cause public inconvenience and stress just to accomplish your political ambitions.
