Mumbai: Services on the 20-km monorail line in the financial capital resumed on Sunday, after nearly seven months of closure following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The single line, which had been struggling with ridership numbers before the pandemic as well, witnessed low patronage which can also be attributed to it being a weekend.
Services on the line, which extends from Chembur to Lacob Circle at Mahalaxmi, were carried out in two phases one each in the morning and evening bands with additional COVID-19 related precautions like social distancing and regular cleaning.
The Monorail services have started a day ahead of resumption of more popular Metro services on the 11-km Ghatkopar-Versova route. (PTI)
