Looking for the fastest way to get from Asalpha to Marol Naka? You're in luck – this is a direct route on the Blue Line, which means no train changes or platform hopping. Just 2.7 km and 9 min later, you'll be at your destination. The train passes through 3 stations, and honestly, it's one of the smoother commutes in Mumbai – no traffic jams, no auto-rickshaw haggling, just a comfortable AC ride.

Fare & Tickets: A single journey costs ₹10. Pro tip: if you travel this route regularly, get yourself a Mumbai Metro smart card. You'll save 5% on every trip (fare drops to ₹10), plus you skip the token counter queue. Return journey? That's ₹18 – decent savings if you're doing a round trip.

When to Travel: Trains start rolling at 5:30 AM and the last one leaves around 10:45 PM. During rush hours (8-10 AM going towards offices, 6-8 PM coming back), trains arrive every 4-6 minutes. Off-peak? Every 8-10 minutes. My honest advice – if you can, travel between 11 AM and 4 PM or after 9 PM. You'll actually get a seat, and the journey feels almost relaxing.
