Mumbai Metro’s Red Line 7 and Yellow Line 2A reached a new record on Tuesday, June 24, carrying 2,97,600 passengers -- the highest single-day ridership ever recorded for the network, officials said.

The previous record of 2,94,681 riders was set just six days earlier, they said.

More than 64 per cent of the passengers used digital or paperless tickets, showing the growing shift towards contactless and eco-friendly travel, an official said.
