Pune Metro experienced a notable surge in ridership and revenue in September compared to the previous year. Passenger journeys rose by over 23%, reaching 93,58,603 trips, while monthly revenue increased by more than 22%, reaching ₹14.32 crore. September 2026 saw the highest monthly ridership and revenue recorded by Pune Metro in the past 13 months.
The increase was driven by heavy passenger movement during the Ganeshotsav period. Line 1 saw a more substantial rise than Line 2, with an approximate 33% increase compared to Line 2's 15.2% increase. The growth in both corridors contributed to a narrowing gap between the two lines, with Line 2 recording only about 1.91 lakh more passenger journeys than Line 1.
