The renovated Mandi House station—part of the extension of the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor to Kashmere Gate—now takes away at least one lakh commuters from Rajiv Chowk station every day. Around 40,000 commuters have also moved to Mandi House from Central Secretariat interchange station. The average footfall at Rajiv Chowk was earlier around fi ve lakh while for Central Secretariat, it was two lakhs.
The Metro's overall ridership went up this year, with the peak daily ridership touching 28 lakh—a jump from 23 lakh in 2013. The average daily ridership was 2.57 lakh. DMRC also added 38 coaches to its network, converting 11 trains into eight-coach ones.
The Airport line saw improvements in operation. Speed, frequency and number of trains running during peak hours were improved while the ticket rates were slashed by up to 40%.
However, all was not well. DMRC remained in the news for the tender scam involving Alstom. Britain's Serious Fraud Offi ce (SFO) charged engineering major Alstom Network UK for allegedly bribing offi cials and agents of DMRC to the tune of over 3 million euros to secure contracts. Of the six charges, two relate to the DMRC contract. Back home, work on phase III got delayed on two new corridors because of land acquisition problems.
