On June 22, the extension of the M4 to Sydhavn and Valby opened, and at the meeting, the board received an evaluation of the inauguration and the goals set for the opening. The aim was to get as many passengers as possible to use the M4 so that the opening supports the passenger recovery and the overall passenger growth in the Metro. The target for the opening was a total attendance of more than 5000 guests on the opening day. As a result, more than 10,000 citizens attended the opening celebration at Mozarts Plads, while 34,000 passengers used the five new stations on opening day.

"It was with great joy and pride that we welcomed passengers to the extension of the M4 line and the five new metro stations. It's always a historic day when new metro stations open - and it was overwhelming to see how many people showed up at Mozarts Plads to celebrate the event with us. The Metroselskabet's focus is on attracting as many passengers as possible and ensuring that the Metro is an integral part of everyday life in the capital," says Chairman of the Board Jørn Neergaard Larsen.

At the meeting, the board also received an update on Metroselskabet's work on storm surge protection. The Metro must continuously be climate-proofed against flooding from extreme rain and storm surges, which can affect both the Metro's infrastructure and the operation of the Metro. The Company is therefore working to assess the consequences of the calculated water levels. At the meeting, the Board was given a status on the feasibility study for a joint storm surge protection of Copenhagen, including Metroselskabet's active participation in the preparation of a model for how the necessary facilities and their operation can be financed.

The Metro's passenger numbers in May were 10.3 million passengers. Year-to-month, the realized passenger number is 49.5 million passengers, which is 10% below expectations. Especially the realized passenger numbers for M3/M4 are below expectations, while M1/M2 is close to expectations. One of the main reasons is the planned closures of M3/M4 in connection with test runs on M4 prior to the opening. It is assessed that this effect has been temporary.

Finally, the Board was briefed on the Metro's operational stability. In May, the operational stability on M1/M2 was 99.3%, while for M3/M4 it was 97.2%. The low operational stability on M3/M4 is primarily due to complications in connection with the South Harbour project.
