What Happened
Mumbai's new Metro Line 9 recorded 23,096 daily passengers across four stations in its first week, while Line 2B averaged 3,992 passengers across five stations. Officials attributed lower numbers to summer vacations reducing travel. Line 9 is an extension of Line 7. Passenger numbers are expected to increase when schools and offices reopen and monsoon begins. Digital ticket adoption reached 65 percent of trips.
