Delhi Metro Breaks Its Passenger Journey's Record 17 Times In The Past One Month

Delhi Metro which has registered its previous highest journey record on a single day (13th February 2024: 71,09,938) before 12th August 2024, has achieved a unique feat by breaking that mark by record 17 times within a span of one month i.e, from 12th August to 12th September 2024. (See the table attached below showing top 20 passenger journeys till 12th September 2024). Also, out of top 20 passenger journeys registered so far, 19 are from this year only, remaining two in the month of February 2024.

The passenger journeys registered by Delhi Metro in the past four days i.e, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th September 2024 have turned out to be amongst the top five passenger journeys performed in the Metro network, with the highest ever passenger journeys record made on 20th August 2024 at 77,49,682.

The passenger journeys performed in the last four consecutive days are as below:

1. 2nd highest on 09th September - 77, 16,910

2. 3rd highest on 10th September - 75, 71,124

3. 4th highest on 11th September - 75, 50,620

4. 5th highest on 12th September – 73, 25,403

In view of the increased passenger journeys, DMRC has decided to run one extra train on all its lines performing 84 extra train trips today and tomorrow. These additional trains/trips will be continued on coming weekdays also, if required.
This trend further strengthens Delhi Metro’s acceptability as the most dependable, reliable, punctual and comfortable mode of public transport in these extended spells of humidity and rain, allowing people to avoid road blockages and delays caused by heavy rains, ensuring they reach their destinations on time.

The interconnectivity of metro network through 29 interchange stations has also enhanced seamless connectivity enabling people to reach any corner of Delhi-NCR in the most convenient manner.

Further, DMRC has introduced several channels for ease of booking of tickets including DMRC Saarthi App, One Delhi App, WhatsApp, Paytm, Amazon Pay. Customers are encouraged to use these channels to purchase tickets even before reaching the stations to avoid queuing at ticket counters.
