During heavy rainfall on Tuesday, Mumbai Metro became a preferred travel mode, with its ridership crossing the 2 lakh mark. Since its launch earlier this year, the Mumbai Metro lines of 2A (Dahisar East to Andheri West/ D N Nagar) and 7 (Dahisar East to Gundavali/ Western Express Highway), catered the highest number of passengers.
On April 2, 2002, the first phase of metro lines 2A & 7 was inaugurated and on January 19, 2023 the second phase was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Between January 20 and June 27, the total ridership reached 2,44,16,775, while the ridership from April 2, 2022, to June 27 stands at 3,33,81,920. The highest number of commuters in a single day reached an impressive 2,03,581.
