Mumbai to get India’s first travelator-equipped skywalk

Mumbai is set to build India’s first travelator-equipped skywalk at Mahalaxmi, creating a seamless pedestrian connection between the Metro, Monorail and suburban railway networks.

The elevated walkway will enable commuters to move between the three transport systems more conveniently while significantly reducing walking time during interchanges. The project is expected to strengthen multimodal connectivity and encourage greater use of public transport, reported The Times of India.

The travelator-equipped skywalk forms part of Mumbai’s broader effort to modernise urban transport infrastructure and improve last-mile connectivity. By linking major transit systems, authorities expect the project to make daily commuting more efficient and comfortable.

Once completed, the Mahalaxmi facility will become the country’s first public transport interchange to incorporate a travelator, providing commuters with quicker and more convenient transfers between different modes of transport.
