A total of 2,041 such travellers cards were issued during May 1 and 20, as against 3,686 in April and 5,064 in March this year, according to Noida Metro data.
In the first four months of its operations, the Aqua Line has so far ferried 16.38 lakh passengers between Noida and Greater Noida, while generating a revenue of Rs 4.77 crore, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) said on Wednesday.

According to data, 6.48 lakh riders were added while the average daily ridership during the two months reached 10,991 by the end of March 25.
