Namo Bharat Corridor Records Highest Single-Day Ridership of 1.25 Lakh Commuters
The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor recorded its highest single-day ridership of approximately 125,500 commuters on June 8, surpassing its average daily usage of around 100,000 passengers. The surge is attributed to reduced travel times, reliable operations with nearly 99% punctuality, and prevailing heatwave conditions. Key stations including Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar, Anand Vihar, Ghaziabad, and Begumpul account for over 40% of ridership due to their connectivity with multiple transport modes.
