The Delhi Metro's daily ridership has already passed 7 million, much beyond projected figures. It has helped ease the pressure on congested corridors of the city that cannot be solved by public bus systems alone. In some corridors of the city, the DMRC services more than 50,000 people in very high peak-hour, peak-direction traffic. To meet such high traffic demand through public buses alone, 715 buses would be required to travel in one direction within an hour in those corridors, roughly translating to a bus every 5 second, which would be an impossible scenario.
