Bengaluru Metro experienced an extraordinary increase in ridership from 11 pm on December 31, 2023, to 11 pm on January 1, 2024, with an astonishing 6.26 lakh passengers utilizing its services.
The revelation of this substantial influx prompted a viral video showcasing the crowded conditions within the Metro trains, sparking concern and outrage among netizens.
The BMRCL encouraged commuters originating from Whitefield to opt for Trinity Metro and those coming from Nagasandra or Silk Institute to consider Cubbon Park.
Tickets were available at a reduced rate of Rs 50 and the operating hours were extended to 2 am from the existing 11 pm.
The video shared by @ChristinMP_ on X, formerly Twitter, had some netizens criticizing the apparent lack of crowd control, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ‘social distancing’ norms to curb the potential spread of infectious diseases and any other imminent dangers.
