Mumbai Metro Line 2B is being extended from Diamond Garden to Chembur, Interchange for Monorail

Mumbai Metro Line 2B is being extended from Diamond Garden to Chembur today, August 13, with Chembur becoming the sixth station.

The new Chembur Metro station is around 200 metres from Chembur railway station and about 100 metres from V N Purav Marg Monorail station, bringing Metro, suburban rail and Monorail connections within a short walking distance. The extension is expected to make interchange easier for commuters from the eastern suburbs and improve onward travel through Chembur.

Chembur Metro Station on Line 2B is set to be inaugurated at 5 PM today, August 13. Following the opening, the operational corridor will extend beyond Diamond Garden up to Chembur.

I am planning to go Aksa beach alone around evening. I saw there is bus 271 from malad station. So should I go alone or take someone with me?

Got the MMRDA metro card [ NCMC ] today from Deonar (Line 2B), so sharing here

Works across all metro lines & BEST buses but with 1% extra charge on bus
Whereas on Yellow & Red Line you get 5% discount on weekdays & 10% on weekend not sure about other lines

How to get it:

I got mine directly from the metro station counter at Deonar on Line 2B.
You can usually ask for:

• Metro card & they will give by asking Name & Phone no.

Recharge can be done at:

• station counters
• or there is qr code on card
• mumbai one app

However if you recharge online you have to update balance by tapping at station or on CHALO app in NCMC balance [ if phone supports NFC ]
