MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): Reliance Infrastructure promoted Mumbai Metro One crossed a significant landmark on Saturday by carrying 600 millionth commuter within just 5 years and 5 months of its operation.

Year after year, Mumbaikars are using Mumbai Metro One as their preferred choice of commute to reach their destinations. Every additional growth in ridership by 100 million Mumbai Metro One commuters is noteworthy as the number of days it takes to reach is consistently decreasing, thus reinforcing that it is indeed the new lifeline of Mumbaikars in the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor. Considering the timeline, Mumbai Metro One took 398 days to carry its first 100 million commuters, 388 days to add another 100 million, while its third 100 million marks were achieved in 337 days. The fourth 100 million commuters have been added in only 300 days, the fifth 100 million commuters have been added in 273 days. And now the sixth 100 million milestones adding to a total of 600 million commuters have been completed in a record time of 264 days.
