Lucknow / Feb 28, 2021
Lucknow Metro has achieved a landmark of logging total ridership of 30 million despite the abrupt shutdown of its services during lockdown last year.
The metro rail services were commercially launched in Lucknow on September 5, 2017.
On this occasion, UP Metro Rail Corporation Limited (UPMRC) managing director Kumar Keshav thanked the passengers with the assurance that it would keep providing world class services to the ‘City of Nawabs’.
He noted in view of Covid-19, Lucknow Metro was taking every possible care to provide the safest journey to the people. “Measures have been taken to ensure sanitisation and physical distancing at all metro stations and trains.”
He informed Lucknow Metro had become the first metro service in the country to sanitise the coaches by UV (ultraviolet) rays. “As a result of these efforts, ridership of Lucknow Metro has steadily improved. With daily ridership of 42,000, Lucknow Metro has been able to recover 65 per cent of daily ridership. This is the fastest ridership recovery in comparison to any other metro services in the country.”
On a daily average, Lucknow Metro trains complete 343 trips on the operational North-South Corridor stretching from airport to Munshipulia via Charbagh railway station.
