At the meeting, the Board of Directors received a status report on preliminary passenger numbers for January, which were naturally affected by the two-week closure of M3 in connection with the completion of M4 Nordhavn. Passenger numbers therefore stand at approximately 2.5 million passengers on M3. At the same time, operational stability for the weeks when M3 was in operation was 98.9% overall and 98.7% during rush hour.

The Board of Directors was also informed about how the temporary closure of the Cityringen has progressed. Overall, the metro buses have provided satisfactory operational stability throughout the period, and there has also been sufficient bus capacity. In addition, there have generally been few customer inquiries about the closure.

"We are, of course, pleased that the closure of the Cityringen has gone relatively smoothly. That said, we would like to thank our customers for their patience, and we are delighted that they have flocked back to the system since it reopened on January 27. This shows that there is great interest in traveling with Cityringen, and we are therefore focused on getting customers back on board," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Metroselskabet.

At the meeting, the Board also approved Metroselskabet's occupational health and safety strategy for 2020 and 2021. The strategy is a continuation of the strategy for 2018 and 2019, which was based on experiences from the Danish oil and gas industry and the construction industry in other countries. The focal point of the strategy was the vision that everyone should be able to work without being injured.

The trend in accident figures has been positive across all projects during the strategy period. With the new strategy, Metroselskabet aims to continue some of the activities from the previous strategy period and supplement them with a number of new activities in the period 2020 and 2021.

Finally, the Board of Directors was briefed on the upcoming opening of M4 Nordhavn, which is set for March 28, 2020. The project is progressing as planned, and Metroselskabet expects the new metro line to open on time.
