The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (GMRCL) has decided to temporarily extend the timings for the Ahmedabad Metro railway by four hours from January 30.
According to a government release, Ahmedabad phase one Metro trains will run from 7 am to 10 pm for a month. At present, the Metro railway operates from 9 am to 8 pm. Officials said the decision was taken to “facilitate students and office-goers”.
“Looking at the current demand, the east-west corridor has a trip every 18 minutes while the north-south corridor has a trip every 25 minutes, which can be increased to a trip per 15 minutes (in peak hours), looking at the number of travellers,” the release said.
