The Board was briefed on Metro's passenger numbers, which in October amounted to 11.4 million passengers, which is the highest passenger numbers for a month measured to date in Metro's history. Passenger numbers for October 2024 were 7 percent higher than the corresponding month in 2023.

Year-to-month, the realized passenger number is 102 million passengers. The passenger numbers for the new stations at M4 Sydhavn are still approximately double what was expected, while the realized passenger numbers for M3/M4 are still below expectations, while M1/M2 are within expectations.

At the meeting, the Board also discussed Metroselskabet's work on climate-proofing the Metro. The Metro must be continuously protected against flooding from storm surges and extreme rain that can affect the infrastructure and operation of the Metro. As part of the ongoing efforts, The Company contributes to the work on a common storm surge protection for Copenhagen.

The main priority of the work is to help ensure a common external protection of Copenhagen, so that individual citizens, companies and public institutions - including infrastructure and utility owners - do not have to protect themselves individually.

"The Metro has a generally high level of security, so it can withstand so-called 2000-year events for 100 years from the date of commissioning. However, global climate change means that it doesn't make sense to focus on the Metro in isolation. The Metro is part of the capital, and climate-proofing Copenhagen is also climate-proofing the Metro. The Company is therefore actively contributing to the work of flood-proofing Copenhagen together with other infrastructure owners, ministries and other authorities," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Metroselskabet Board of Directors.

At the meeting, the board was also informed that Metro's overall operational stability has been very close to or above 99 percent in most months of the year. In October, the overall operational stability was 99.3 percent. However, the customer experience on the M4 extension may continue to be affected by the completion work taking place at the new stations in some situations in the coming period.
