The Mumbai Metro was inaugurated not long ago after a really, really long wait of 8 years. And it's about time. Here's why Mumbaikars desperately needed and passionately love our new metro.

Andheri was always given as the perfect example of horrible Mumbai traffic. People would rather cancel plans than travel through Andheri. But now you'll find yourself making excuses to meet up in the beautiful Versova station!

The local trains will get lighter.

With Metro Phase II and III connecting most of Mumbai by 2017 (more like 2024), we will finally have emptier locals.
