Fifty-nine trips of Delhi Metro services were cancelled in the last 20 days after the extension of the new age transport system to Noida.

The maximum number of trip cancellations after the extension of services on November 13 was on Dwarka-Noida City Centre (Line three) which recorded 37 such incidents.

There were a total of 9,518 trips on the line, minister of state for urban affairs Saugata Roy informed Lok Sabha. Sixteen out of 12,058 trips were cancelled on Jahangirpuri-Central secretariat (Line two) while six out of 9,801 trips on Dilshad Garden-Rithala (Line one) route were cancelled, he said.
