The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has revealed that one of their employees, Prafull Singh, has broken the “Fastest time to go to all Metro stations” Guinness World Record. Singh accomplished this accomplishment by reaching all of the metro stations in the national capital across a distance of 348 kilometres in 16 hours and 2 minutes, according to the DMRC.
“DMRC family is pleased of Prafull’s performance,” the DMRC stated on social media on Tuesday, sharing this milestone.
Adham Fisher set the record for the fastest time to go to all Madrid Metro stations in 2017 with a timing of 12 hours, 15 minutes, and 48 seconds. In 2019, he set a new record for the quickest journey time to all Rotterdam Metro stations, clocking in at 4 hours, 2 minutes, and 10 seconds. Fisher, who is fascinated by subway systems, holds the records for the quickest trip time to all stations on the Paris Metro and the New York Subway.
The Delhi Metro is India’s largest functioning metro network, with 254 stations. When the stations on Noida’s Aqua line and the Rapid Metro Gurgaon are included, the total number of stations is 286. The Delhi Metro had three lines in its first phase of development, and by 2022, it had grown to a network of 12 lines.
The Delhi Metro is followed by the Hyderabad Metro, which is 69.2 kilometres long, and the Bengaluru Metro, which is 56.1 kilometres long.
The Delhi Metro released a photo of an employee carrying a record citation while standing on a metro station platform on Facebook. According to sources, Singh had obtained all necessary permissions before attempting the record.
