How to ride
Four steps, first time.
Get a ticket
Buy in the MetroConnect3 app or at the station counter. Fares run ₹10–70 by distance.
Tap in
Scan your code or token at the gate. Keep it: you tap again on the way out.
Pick the direction
Trains to Cuffe Parade go south into the city. Trains to Aarey JVLR go north to the airport.
Leave at the right exit
At BKC, follow signs for E Block. The walk to Jio World Centre is 12–20 minutes.
Know before you ride
Five things nobody tells you.
Last train is 22:30
Side events run later. Plan the ride home before you go out.
Carry-on bags only
Large check-in luggage may be turned away. Confirm at the airport station.
Nothing on the west side
Bandra West, Khar and Juhu have no metro. Use an auto or a cab there.
Skip the local trains at rush hour
8–11 am and 6–9 pm are not for first-timers.
The monorail is not running
Ignore it on older maps.
Keep going
