New Delhi, April 7 -- Delhi residents will soon be able to hitch rides on three-coach metro trains to travel short distances in the metropolis. The concept - a new one for India-is expected to provide a cost-effective and agile mobility solution, ensuring better frequency and operational efficiency while accommodating a substantial number of daily commuters, Delhi Metro said in a statement on Sunday.
It said projected daily ridership on the Lajpat Nagar to Saket G Block corridor is expected to rise from 60,000-80,000 passengers per day in 2025 to over 1,20,000 in 2041.
This corridor's Peak Hour Peak Direction Traffic (PHPDT) estimates indicate a manageable load, ensuring a comfortable travel experience without unnecessary overcapacity.
