At the meeting, the Board was informed that passengers are increasingly choosing the Metro. In July, the Metro had a passenger number of 7.8 million passengers, which is 26% above the current passenger budget. At the same time, the operational stability in July has been very satisfactory, and the service has generally been very stable. The overall operational stability on M1/M2 was 99.5%, while it was 99.2% on M3/M4.

During the summer, the Metro was also challenged in several areas - including the historic Tour de France in Copenhagen, where a new passenger record was set with almost 570,000 passengers in the entire Metro system. That's more passengers than ever in a single day. With the closure of large parts of central Copenhagen, the Metro proved to be an attractive transport option in the festive capital.

During the shooting in Fields on July 3, both the system and the emergency response worked as planned. For example, the many concertgoers in the Royal Arena were evacuated by Metro in close cooperation with the police and emergency services. Finally, the system's capacity was thoroughly tested in connection with the Ed Sheeran concerts at Femøren station in early August, where they worked at full speed to ensure as good a passenger flow as possible despite the extraordinary number of people in the Metro.

The Board also discussed the status of Metroselskabet's work environment efforts. Since 2018, The Company has worked ambitiously with safety and working environment - and since the last report in August 2021, there has been a significant decrease in the number of lost-time accidents on M4 Sydhavn. From August 2020 to July 2021, there were 14 lost-time accidents, while up to July 2022 there have been 4 lost-time accidents.

"We still have a clear ambition that no one gets hurt on our projects. This places extremely high demands on both us as the client and the contractors. Working with safety and the working environment therefore requires a constant and sustained effort - not least because of the enormous size and complexity of the metro projects," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Metroselskabet.

As part of Metroselskabet's occupational health and safety efforts, 34 courses have been held from the summer of 2021, where 320 employees of the contractors on M4 Sydhavn have participated. The proportion of employees on the project who have completed the course has thus increased from approx. 54% in July last year to almost 69% in August 2022.

Finally, the Board was briefed on the competition strategy for a master plan at København Syd (Ny Ellebjerg). The competition includes proposals for a master plan for København Syd (Ny Ellebjerg), which is expected to include a vision, a proposal for future development and solutions for how the project can support important themes such as sustainability, safety and good urban life, including that København Syd can become Denmark's third largest station and thus a new traffic hub. The competition will be relatively short so that the project can be developed in a timely manner, and a winning team is expected to be selected in June 2023.
