Mumbai Metro, which serves the city of Mumbai, is a mass rapid transit system. It is being built in three phases in a bid to decongest the Mumbai suburban railway. Eventually, the metro network is envisioned to have 14 lines across some 337 km route length. The system is mostly being built underground or on elevated viaducts, with a tiny portion at grade. The trains, which run at a top speed of 80 km/h, carry just over 4,05,000 people every day. Standard-gauge (1,435 mm) tracks and 25 kV Alternating Current (AC) via overhead catenary are used on the system
