Delhi Metro on August 28 recorded the highest-ever count of daily passenger journeys — 68.16 lakh — for the period spanning before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the DMRC said on Tuesday.
The previous highest recorded passenger journey count stood at 66,18,717 on February 10, 2020, just before the pandemic disrupted travel patterns and routines, officials said.
The record figures have been registered days ahead of the Raksha Bandhan festival, and officials said ridership jumps on this occasion, but this time it happened a few days earlier.
