No waiting for BAE at Rajiv Chowk, Metro rides will not be same!
Delhi Metro might resume its services, but rules will completely change!
One thing people in Delhi are constantly missing is ‘Agla Station Rajiv Chowk hai’. From last 60 days Metro services are shut in Delhi due to COVID 19 outbreak. Delhi Metro carries 1.5 million passengers daily. It comes on the second number in terms of services. Delhi Metro is an integral part of the city. To simply put, Delhi runs on Metro.
DMRC is gearing up to resume services, and people of Delhi desperately want it. On the other hand, Corona cases are soaring in Delhi and we are heading towards lockdown 5! In that case, DMRC has not got any instructions from government to resume services. A lot of people travel via metro, it becomes extremely important to think twice before opening for Public.
According to a report, DMRC can resume services in next 48 hours as a mockdrill. Here are a few things that DMRC will change and metro rides will never be same again.
1. No Token Machines: Remember long queues on the token machines and some uncles saying ‘ Beta hamara bhi token nikal do’, especially during festivals. As of now, the token machines will not be used.
