The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) recently announced a new benchmark they have achieved. Noida-Greater Noida Metro crossed the number of 50,000 daily commuters on Monday, 17 October. Almost 50,231 people used the metro for travelling on Monday. It has broken its own previous records of 48,396 on 26 September and 48,852 on 14 October.
The metro rail connects Noida and Greater Noida in Gautam Buddh Nagar of Uttar Pradesh. It was inaugurated for public use in January 2019.
Noida Metro achieves a milestone
“The NMRC has touched the cumulative ridership figure of 2 crores and 12 lakhs in just three years and eight months which makes it a proud moment for everyone associated with the Metro,” NMRC Managing Director Ritu Maheshwari said.
“This is despite the fact that Metro operations were suspended during 2020-2021 for almost 227 days due to COVID-19 restrictions,” she added.
She stated all the credit goes to the punctuality, reliability and “high-performance standards” of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation that has helped in achieving that milestone.
“There has been a reduction in travel time through the introduction of fast train service and rationalization of the timetable. Also, a reduction of travel time from 46 minutes to 43 minutes for normal trains with an average speed of 39 km/hour and 40 minutes for fast trains with an average speed of 42 km/hour,” Maheshwari noted.
NMRC is considered to be the safest and most reliable transportation with quality service. It is known for its customer-friendly approach.
Despite being the best transportation service available in Delhi NCR, the public still finds it hard to use as it lacks better connectivity between the Aqua line of NMRC and the Blue Line of Delhi Metro. Additionally, the distance between Aqua Line’s Sector 52 station and Blue Line’s Sector 51 station is 300 meters, but the traveller has to get out from one system before entering another.
