This move follows a record-breaking day, earlier this month, when Metro 2A and 7 accommodated 260,471 passengers. On average, around 190,000 commuters use these lines daily.
As Metro 1 marks its 10th anniversary, having ferried 970 million commuters, the call for better services and longer trains continues to grow louder.
