Starting tonight, September 14, Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) will run until midnight through September 25. The last trains leave at 12:00 am from both Cuffe Parade and Aarey JVLR to support Ganeshotsav travel. Media updates and the operator’s social posts confirm the special window; Metro One will run until 1:03 am for onward connections. Verify timings before travel.
The late closure matters most near packed pandals. Use Siddhivinayak station for the temple. Worli and Acharya Atre Chowk serve Worli mandals. Mahalaxmi and Girgaon cover South Mumbai clusters and Chowpatty. For Lalbaugcha Raja, alight at Science Museum or Mahalaxmi and follow police diversions, as approach roads change during peak crowding.

Aqua Line pandal-near stations and last-mile detours
Expect security screening at entries, baggage checks, and barricaded one‑way queues near big mandals. MMRC has advised small-idol carriage only, with media noting an 18‑inch limit for metro travel. The civic body is deploying AI crowd monitoring at hotspots, while police have trained volunteer teams for queue and traffic management. Travel light and keep QR tickets handy.
Plan returns by direction and avoid choke points. For Siddhivinayak, enter from the closest gate and use Worli or Dadar for dispersal if crowds swell. For Lalbaug, follow diversions from Science Museum or Mahalaxmi and switch to Metro One if needed. Always reconfirm tonight’s final times on MMRC channels before boarding, as on-ground adjustments are common.
