mid-day impact: Following a series of mid-day reports, decongesting Ghatkopar station continues at top speed, in an attempt to take off load from overburdened railway bridge

Metro One quickly made the structural changes
Mumbai Metro One has completed major structural changes to the station that will partly address the congestion issue that mid-day had highlighted a few weeks ago. Beginning today, Metro passengers will not spill onto the railway footover bridge at Ghatkopar.
Among other modifications, Metro authorities have pushed behind the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates, doubling the commuter holding area. An official note released by Mumbai Metro One said that commuters will experience a new queuing system at Ghatkopar Metro station with a new passenger flow plan coming into effect from Monday, September 23. In addition to pushing back the AFC gates, the Mumbai Metro team has removed all the food stalls cluttering the area, the Central Railway ticket counter, and the Metro station manager's office near the entry points, creating more space on either sides of the main staircase.
