The Ahmedabad Metro recorded around two lakh passenger journeys in a single day during August, marking a new milestone for the city’s public transport network, the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) said on Friday.
Ridership Rises Without Major Event Traffic
GMRC said the two-lakh mark was achieved without the additional passenger rush typically generated by major events at Narendra Modi Stadium or large music concerts.
IPL and World Cup cricket matches, as well as high-profile concerts, have previously driven sharp increases in Metro ridership.
Daily Commuter Demand Driving Growth
According to GMRC, daily passenger journeys have climbed to around two lakh during August, suggesting that the Metro is increasingly being used for routine travel rather than only during special events.
The corporation said the latest figures reflect growing acceptance of the Metro among Ahmedabad commuters.
Metro Becomes Part Of Everyday Travel
The latest ridership milestone comes as the Metro continues to expand its role in Ahmedabad’s public transport system.
GMRC said the sustained passenger numbers point to stronger underlying demand, with residents increasingly choosing the Metro for their regular journeys.
The corporation thanked commuters for their continued support and said the achievement reflects the Metro’s growing role in the city’s everyday mobility.
