Overview
- Prafull Singh, a Delhi Metro Rail Corporation operations employee, completed the full-network challenge in 14 hours, 54 minutes and 36 seconds to claim a Guinness World Record.
- Singh relied on professional knowledge of timetables, interchanges and transfers to optimise his route and shave minutes off previous attempts.
- Guinness verification required a physical train stop at every station and timestamped photographic evidence, rules that shaped Singh's logistics and documentation during the run.
- Singh improved on his own 2022 time of 16:02:17 and beat the prior Guinness benchmark of 15:21:04, which had been set by other challengers in 2023.
- Singh framed the attempt as a way to showcase Delhi Metro's scale and efficiency, a move that ties into a wider interest in 'metro speedrunning' and could draw more attention to public transit planning and rider behaviour.
