HYDERABAD: The World Car Free Day is observed annually on September 22 and promotes car-free days in cities all around the world. This year, the Hyderabad Metro Rail also jumped on board, promoting the use of metro trains as an alternative to driving cars around, entirely oblivious to the reality that most metro trains run at capacity and are constantly crowded with people squabbling for space.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail tweeted, “Hello Hyderabad, Let’s give your cars a day’s rest on the occasion of World Car Free Day” and shared an image inviting the city commuters to use the metro, which sparked backlash from the commuters.
