Metro Railway tokens will be suspended from Monday to enforce the 50 per cent cap on passenger count imposed by the state government, the carrier said.
“Metro Railway is going to temporarily suspend issuance of tokens from Monday till further notice in order to operate with 50 per cent capacity as per usual operational time,” said a release from the carrier, hours after a notification was issued from Nabanna, announcing fresh curbs to check the renewed surge in Covid cases.
“Only smart cards will be issued from Metro counters. Only smart card holders will be able to travel in Metro. Smart card holders will also be able to recharge their cards like before,” said the release.
