The ridership of NMRC reached an all time high of 19, 413 on 27th May 2019 (Monday) with revenue figures also touching an all-time high of Rs. 5, 80 285/-. NMRC has been working tirelessly since the commencement of its operations on 26th January 2019 and has taken various measures to increase ridership. The most important reason behind increase in ridership is improved connectivity between Aqua Line and DMRC’s Blue Line stations. For this NMRC has taken the following measures
NMRC introduced free E rickshaw services for the commuters of Aqua Line at Sector 51 Metro stations and Blue Line at Sector 52 station to interchange between the two networks. This service was introduced by NMRC on 9th March 2019 on the day of commencement of operation of DMRC’s Blue Line extension from Noida City Centre to Noida Electronic City. NMRC has deployed 10 E rickshaws (5 at each station) for this purpose. for the convenience of commuters of both the corridors to interchange between both the networks
NMRC’s Feeder buses are running a total of 11 routes from Aqua Line Metro stations connecting major residential areas, educational institutions, hospitals, government / private offices, etc. Out of these 11 routes, 06 routes are running from Botanical Garden Metro Station (DMRC’s Blue/Magenta Line) providing connectivity to Aqua Line.
Routes are as follows:NMRC is currently plying 50 buses on these 11 routes whose minimum and maximum fares are Rs, 11 and Rs. 53 respectively. The buses are available at a frequency of 30 minutes and timing from 7 AM to 10 PM.
NMRC has also deployed E – rickshaws at nominal fares at various metro stations to provide last mile connectivity to commuters.
NMRC has organised various awareness drives and camps among local RWA’s and residential colonies as well as Corporate Offices, especially Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) to generate awareness regarding the Aqua Line’s connectivity and fare structure. These drives have helped in boosting the ridership of the corridor as more people now look up to the Aqua Line as a safe, comfortable and economical means of public transport.
One tender has been floated Licensing & commercial utilisation of Bare Space, City Bus Control Room (Built Up Space) & Advertisement space on ‘as is where is basis’ in the City Bus Parking at Botanical Garden. Successful Bidder shall have the rights to utilize the said Built Up space & Bare Space for any commercial purpose.

NMRC Officials will provide their expertise by imparting lectures to the students of GBU in specific aspects of Metro Rail Engineering like signalling and telecom, electrical, rolling stock, etc. GBU will also include a course on Metro Rail Engineering in its curriculum.
