Metro timings extended in Ahmedabad
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.
