At its meeting on January 27, the Board reviewed the results of the Metro's operations in 2016 and noted with great satisfaction that the ambitious passenger target for the year was met with a total passenger number of over 60 million, which is an increase of almost 6.5 percent compared to the previous year. At the same time, operational stability was further improved, with 99.2 percent of all trains running on time in 2016.  Following the review, the Board of Directors decided on a number of initiatives that will continue to help attract more customers to the Metro in the future. 

The Board received a status report on the M3 line construction projects, the Nordhavn branch line and the Metro to Sydhavn. The Board focused in particular on the M3 line's progress, including the uncertainty related to the M3 line's timetable as a result of the fact that work on the design of stations (AF work) remains at a standstill and the additional claims the contractor has raised with Metroselskabet. The Board noted with satisfaction that work is underway to find a solution.
