The Cat Linh – Ha Dong metro line
 in Hanoi, Vietnam's first, transported its one millionth passenger
 on Thursday morning, just two months after it opened. According to Nguyen Manh Quyen, the city's deputy chairman
, the metro had been serving roughly 15,000 people every day before reaching that milestone
.
The recent increase in Covid-19 cases has reduced the number of commuters
, but students and employees with season tickets
 have not given up, and their numbers are progressively increasing
, he said. When the service initially started, said demographics
 accounted for just 10% of passengers, but that figure has since risen to 20% and is expected to climb further once Covid-19 is under control, he added.

According to the Ministry of Transport
, the metro is making a significant contribution to increasing people's usage of public transportation, relieving congestion
, saving travel time, and lowering pollution. Taking into account the difficulties of the Covid-19 situation in Hanoi, the metro doing so great is wonderful news.
