Newly released figures show over 20% growth on Metro services since February 2005, equating to 500,000 passengers now using Metro services each week and 38,000 fewer cars on the road!
This success can be attributed to new vehicles and improved punctuality, clear and enhanced timetabling with more frequent services and to better communication with passengers.
Our 'Metro connects' campaign encourages even more people to think seriously about using public transport instead of the car.
