Noida Metro Aqua Line hits record 1.05 lakh riders on 23 October
In short
Noida Metro’s Aqua Line carried a record 1.05 lakh passengers on 23 October. Average daily ridership also rose by about 20%, and NMRC plans to increase peak-hour train frequency from 1 November.
This matters because more riders can mean crowded trains and more pressure on service. The reporting says late-night service is being considered, but it does not explain what caused the jump in passengers.
