Mumbai’s ever-expanding metro network achieved another major milestone this week. On 15 October 2025, a record-breaking 3,44,311 passengers travelled on Metro Routes 2 and 7, marking the highest single-day ridership in the history of Mumbai Metro.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) shared the news on social media, calling it a “success story of your love, faith and blessings.” The tweet celebrated Mumbaikars’ growing reliance on the metro as a faster, cleaner, and more efficient mode of travel across the city.
Record Numbers Reflect Mumbai’s Changing Commute
The sharp rise in metro ridership underlines how significantly Mumbai’s public transport scene has evolved. With multiple new corridors opening up, especially the Aqua Line (Metro 3) and Yellow Line (Metro 2A), more commuters are shifting from road to rail.
The convenience of air-conditioned coaches, punctual service, and reduced travel time has made the metro the preferred choice for daily commuters. The numbers also highlight how infrastructural upgrades are easing the city’s infamous traffic congestion.
MMRDA Expresses Gratitude to Citizens
In its post, the MMRDA thanked Mumbaikars for their continued trust and enthusiasm. “Due to your strong support, Maha Mumbai Metro is reaching new heights every day,” the tweet read.
The agency credited the success to citizens who have embraced the metro system wholeheartedly, making it an essential part of Mumbai’s daily life.
Mumbai Metro’s Growing Network
With newer routes opening and interconnections expanding, the Mumbai Metro is on track to transform urban mobility in the city. The record ridership on October 15 serves as a strong sign that Mumbai is steadily moving towards a more sustainable and efficient public transport future.
