Ahmedabad Metro Faces Revenue and Ridership Challenges
The Ahmedabad Metro is having some problems.
Even though more people are using it every day, not all routes have enough passengers.
Most trains on the connecting routes are often empty.
The money made from each passenger is also very low, just a little over Rs 12.
The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation, which runs the metro, has shared this information.
They are trying to figure out how to get more people to use all parts of the metro.
Ahmedabad Metro has 1.5 lakh daily riders as of December 2025.
Average revenue per passenger is Rs 12.
Most trains on connecting routes run empty.
Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) operates the metro.
Rapid expansion has not translated into sustained passenger volumes across all routes.
