The Kanpur Metro is a mass rapid transit (MRT) system in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The metro is owned and operated by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) and it partially opened within 2 years of construction starting in 2019.
Kanpur Metro has faced criticism for its low ridership on its partially opened route. It had daily average ridership of only 8,000 to 10,000 passengers a day. [2]
