Metros

The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) created a record, with over five lakh footfall in one day. On July 4, the HMRL issued an official statement and expressed gratitude to the commuters, for using the metros. Among the metro corridors, the Miyapur-LB Nagar corridor has topped with 2.60 lakh people, followed by the Nagole-Rayadurgam corridor with 2.25 lakh people and other stations witnessed 30,000-15,000 people.

Veteran Bollywood actress and MP Hema Malini ditched her car and took an auto-rickshaw ride along with metros, to avoid Mumbai traffic. The actress documented the entire evening when she used public transport, instead of her car.  Looking at her social media posts, Malini likely had a great experience and a joyful evening. She said, it took her 2 hours between Juhu-Dahisar, but 1/2 hour while returning via metro.
