Mumbai Metro One hit a new record by ferrying over 5 lakh commuters in a single day. On August 13 2024, Mumbai Metro One carried 5,00,385 commuters. "This is the first time ridership of Mumbai Metro One has crossed the milestone figure of 500,000 without the impact of external factors.

With a tremendous focus on operational efficiency, technological innovation, and customer centricity, Mumbai Metro One has transformed the way the city commutes. This extraordinary accomplishment is a result of our employee`s focus towards providing world-class service, customer-centric experience, and flawless operational excellence,” the spokesperson added.
