The Nagpur Metro on Monday (Independence Day) clocked its highest single-day ridership of 90,758 passengers. The all-time high ridership before this was on June 26 this year when a record 66,428 commuters rode the metro train, officials said. The ridership of Nagpur Metro has been steadily increasing with the passage of time. The Metro rail recorded a peak of 56,406 on January 26, 2021 (Republic Day). However, the ridership on January 26, 2021 matches the number of commuters who travel on regular weekdays! The Nagpur Metro has neared one lakh mark and could easily cross 1.5 lakh mark, once the remaining two lines (Kasturchand Park-Automotive Square Metro Station) and (Sitabuldi Interchange-Prajapati Nagar Metro Station) get operational, said a Nagpur Metro official. He claimed that the record ridership was achieved because of the multiple steps taken by the Metro authorities like providing commuter friendly facilities at Metro Stations, Providing Feeder Service, Maha Card and Mobile App, Increasing Train Timings etc.
