Additional carriages for Line 11

TO expand Metro Line 11’s passenger capacity, four to six trains will be added to its fleet, the city’s Metro operator said yesterday.

Another nine Metro lines — 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 — are also slated for expansion to cope with increasingly heavy passenger traffic.

More than 1.64 billion trips were recorded by the city’s Metro network in the first six months of this year, up 12 percent over the same period last year.

The increased traffic has been attributed to new connections coming into service at the end of last year.

For example, Line 12’s daily passenger flow has reached more than 600,000 trips this month, triple the average number before last December, when its western extension was connected.
