Namma Metro clocked its highest daily ridership of 4.49 lakh on Wednesday, thanks to the Dasara holiday rush which also meant a long weekend for many.

Holidays bring more people to the metro as many seek to go out of the city.

The introduction of the six-car metro has also helped ridership cross 4 lakh barrier.
