Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metro Rail reached a historic milestone, with over five lakh passengers using it for travel on Monday.
On July 3, 5.10 Lakh people availed the service of the metro, according to KVB Reddy, MD & CEO of L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited and Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL).
“Covid19 had taken a negative toll on our business, but through the consistent efforts and hard work by our respective teams, today we could taste this success,” he said in a statement.
The Hyderabad Metro has seen an uptick in users after the pandemic, during which it had faced huge loss of revenue.
