With more people reporting to their workplaces as well as schools reopening, an increasing number of citizens are demanding that Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) revert to pre-COVID-19 timings and begin Namma Metro services early in the morning. At present, trains operate between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. BMRCL PRO B. L. Yeshwanth Chavan said they would take citizens’ needs into consideration. “Before the pandemic, train services used to start at 5 a.m., but they currently begin by 7 a.m. Now that economic activities are restarting in full swing, we will consider this demand. A call will be taken soon,” he said.More Related News
