Looking for the fastest way to get from Shitaladevi Mandir to Churchgate? You're in luck – this is a direct route on the Aqua Line, which means no train changes or platform hopping. Just 19.5 km and 42 min later, you'll be at your destination. The train passes through 14 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 ₹40. 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 ₹38), plus you skip the token counter queue. Return journey? That's ₹72 – 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.
