Mumbai held the groundbreaking ceremony for its Automated Rapid Transit System (ARTS) pod taxi project in Bandra-Kurla Complex. The first phase will operate on a 3.36-km route with eight stations. Driverless pods carry six passengers at 40 kmph with 15-second intervals. By 2031, the network will expand to 22 stations covering 8.85 km. Sai Green Mobility operates the system under a public-private partnership model. The fare is ₹21 per kilometer.
