According to Guinness World Records, Singh made this attempt because he frequently rides the Metro and expected to finish it fast.

Despite all of the labour and preparation, Singh was aware that the endeavour would be a physically and mentally taxing undertaking. He couldn’t sleep adequately the night before, owing to nervousness.

I’ve been riding the Delhi Metro for a long time, so I’m extremely familiar with all of the lines. My plan was to start and terminate at which station and line so that I could finish my record on time, “according to the DMRC employee.

And, of all the stations, his favourite is Patel Chowk (Line 2). The station has a modest museum dedicated to Delhi as well as the country’s first modernised transportation facility.

Singh further said that setting this Guinness World Record felt like winning an Olympic medal.
