Amid yellow alert, Delhi Metro struggles to curb passenger numbers
Even two days after a yellow alert was declared in the capital, Delhi Metro is yet to implement the restrictions imposed by the Delhi government in the wake of the rising Covid-19 cases, as more than 50 per cent passengers continue to board the public transport with several still travelling standing.
“Most of the people still do not know about the curbs and continue to board the metro. The situation will get under control within two-three days,” a DMRC official told IANS.
Passengers IANS talked with cited office attendance as one of the reasons, while others said with Delhi Transport Corporation buses too running with just 50 per cent passengers, “we have no other option left”.
