Mumbai’s monorail services faced disruption in August too after back-to-back breakdowns forced emergency evacuations. In the last week of August, a train headed towards Sant Ghadge Maharaj Chowk came to a halt at Acharya Atre Nagar station (Antop Hill), leaving passengers stranded for nearly 15 minutes.

The system flagged the train for being overweight, 107 tonnes against the permissible 104 tonnes. Each four-car rake is designed to carry up to 562 passengers within the prescribed weight limit. Staff on duty asked about 40–50 commuters to step out to reduce the load.

Once the weight dropped to 102 tonnes, the train was cleared to proceed. Some passengers standing on the footboard initially resisted deboarding, but the doors were not shut until the excess weight issue was resolved.
