A record 2.4 lakh passengers travelled by the Hyderabad Metro rail today, the highest number since its launch last week.
"2.4 lakh passengers travelled by Hyderabad Metro today," L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd, the concessionaire developing the 72-km elevated metro project, said.
It is the highest number (of travellers) so far since the commencement of commercial operations of metro rail, which began on November 29.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail had received an overwhelming response with over two lakh passengers travelling on the opening day of its commercial operations.

According to HMR officials, majority of the passengers travelled for their work purpose.
