Mumbaikars travelling on weekends via Metro Line-3 will now benefit from an earlier start on Sundays. From August 31, the Metro Line-3 trains are set to commence operations at 6.30 am. Currently the Metro Line-3, also known as the Aqua Line, starts its operations on Sunday from 8.30 am. 

While the services run from 6.30 am to 11 pm from Monday to Saturday, on Sundays, the first train in the underground corridor begins operations two hours later, at 8.30 am, to allow extra block time for balance testing and preparatory work for upcoming phases of the project.

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), which undertakes the operations of Metro Line-3, notified that the new timing will be effective from Sunday, August 31, ensuring that trains will now be available for travelling from 6.30 am onwards.
