BENGALURU: Bengaluru Central MP P C Mohan on Thursday requested the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to extend the operational hours of Namma Metro as its curtailed hours was impacting passengers. The MP urged trains be operated between 5.00 am and 10 pm instead of the present 7 am to 8 pm as the pandemic had subsided.
A letter sent by Mohan to BMRCL MD said the present hours were a matter of deep concern to many passengers. Stating that public transport was fully functional in the City now following the easing of restrictions and regulations related to the pandemic by the State government, he questioned the rationale behind restricted operations of Metro trains.
