Maha Mumbai Metro recorded its highest-ever single-day ridership on July 9, with 3,65,845 passenger journeys, as heavy monsoon showers prompted more commuters to opt for the city's metro network over road transport.
Latest figure surpasses previous record set in June
The latest milestone surpasses the operator's previous record of 3,58,115 passenger journeys registered on June 23, and comes just weeks after another high of 3,57,895 passenger journeys on June 19.
The July 9 figures mark the third time during the current monsoon season that Maha Mumbai Metro has broken its own single-day ridership record, reflecting the growing reliance on the metro system during periods of intense rainfall and traffic congestion.
