More Details

The ropeway will connect Aarey–JVLR Metro Station with Sanjay Gandhi National Park. According to reports, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) announced that this ropeway will pass through Film City. It will be 3km long and the main aim will be to enhance the last-mile connectivity, and increase the number of daily riders using the Metro three Aqua Line.

The ropeway is expected to carry 2,000 to 3,000 passengers per hour. However, the authorities have still not decided whether they want to go with a mono-cable, bi-cable or tri-cable gondola technology.

Why It Is Perfect For A Day Out With Kids?
