Yellow Line Metro major evening delay leaves passengers stranded
On Sunday evening the Yellow Line metro service experienced significant disruptions that inconvenienced passengers commuting between Andheri West and Lower Malad stations.
According to commuters trains were moving at an unusually slow pace and halted for extended periods at multiple stations, increasing travel time.
One passenger, who boarded at Andheri West around 6 pm, said he reached Lower Malad only by 6:40 pm.
Adding usually, this distance takes less than 15 minutes as it covers just five stations, but on Sunday it took more than twice the regular time. The train was halted at Oshiwara station for almost 10 minutes. The announcement system repeatedly apologised for the delay.
However, no official statement from Metro authorities despite widespread inconvenience. Ironically the Maha Mumbai Metro Corporation (MMMC) has not issued any official statement regarding the cause of the disruptions.
Meanwhile, several passengers took to social media to share their experiences and express frustration.
On X, commuter Abhisek Pandey posted, “Mumbai metro is stuck at Andheri West station from past 30 minutes on Sunday evening.”
Another user, Dan_Hammerstone, wrote, “Stuck here at Dahisar too,” while Sachin Kumar added, “Yes, stuck here also.”
Passengers Demand Clarity
Passengers have expressed frustration over the lack of timely updates and have urged metro authorities to provide clarity on the delays and prevent such disruptions in the future.
