Delhi Metro clocked an average daily ridership of 17.10 lakh in 2020-21, down by over 60 per cent a year ago, the government has said.
India, as did the rest of the world, witnessed near absolute immobility after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with multiple lockdowns imposed across its cities to contain the virus.
Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Kaushal Kishore in a written reply to a query in Rajya Sabha on Monday said that Delhi Metro’s average daily ridership in 2018-19 had stood at 45.44 lakh.
The figures were 50.65 lakh for 2019-2020, according to the data he shared.
