The city is facing transport and communication related issues especially considering the growing vehicular population, consequent traffic congestion and traffic slow down. The biggest and most convenient public transport, the suburban local trains, also presented a congested face affecting the city's image. Therefore, in 2002 the State Government, Indian Railways and the MMRDA, with financial assistance from the World Bank, decided to undertake Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) to find out long term solution to city's transport and communication issues.
 
Two crucial objectives of the project
