HMRL created operational records

With Metro rush regularly registering a patronage of four lakh passenger per day, efforts were being made to introduce two more trains shortly, besides intensifying measures for increasing the trains speed.

At present, 55 trains were being operated, which make nearly 1,000 trips a day. For the convenience of passengers, two more trains would be introduced very shortly. Already, trial runs of the two trains were under progress and they would be added to the fleet in about 10 days, Reddy said.

At present, four lakh passengers rush is witnessed on Mondays and other days and it slides to 3.8 lakh during holidays. The recently launched JBS-Metro route is also registering about 25,000 passenger rush every day, which according to Metro officials is a decent start on the route. The officials expect the patronage to increase further in the days to come.
