In total, more than 57 million passengers took the metro, which was over 1 million passengers more than in 2014. 2015 was also characterised by the adverse aspects of the implementation of major infrastructure im- provement projects. We completed the installation of platform doors at the many overground metro stations. The major construction projects at Nørreport were also completed, so that passengers can now transfer easily and effectively between bus, train and metro at Denmarkʼs largest traffic hub. The platform doors at all metro stations ensure pas- sengers even more stable operation, more departures during rush-hour periods, and stations that offer better shelter from the wind and adverse weather conditions. 2015 was thus a year with record-high operational reliability. 98.8 per cent of the around 13,000 departures in the course of a 24-hour day ran according to plan. In rush-hour periods, when the metro is used by most people, 98.2 per cent of the trains ran on time. 2015 was also the year that the construction of City- ringen, in particular, made significant progress, with several project milestones being reached during the year. The year began with a double station breakthrough at Copen hagen Central Station. The tunnel boring In 2015 the work on the automatic platform doors at overground stations was completed. Here, the final result at Ørestad Station can be seen. 5 Annual Report 2015 Foreword Annual Report 2015 Financial Highlights Summary of Financial Highlights machines Minerva and Eva broke through the wall to Passenger numbers the new metro station, watched by the Danish Prime Million passengers Minister and representatives of the companyʼs owners. 65 60 Before 2015 was over, half of City ringenʼs just over 30 55 kilometres of tunnels had been constructed.
