MUMBAI: On Saturday, until 8 pm, 26,758 passengers had used the metro as compared to 15,911 who availed of its services on May 3 until 8 pm when the metro's operations had not extended beyond BKC.

Among the joyriders over the weekend were a group of Mahim residents who hopped on to the metro at Sitaladevi Mandir station. "We are impressed with its modern infrastructure, speedy travel time and comfortable coaches," said Mahim resident Irfan Macchiwala. "Metro 3 is a game changer for the metropolis. It connects the heart of the city in minutes and is a relief from the overcrowded roads and local trains."

Some passengers took to social media to share their feedback with the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL).
