Nightmare of Travelling on a Metro Service Liable to Breakdown Anywhere, Anytime

in DNDNews

New Delhi: The Metro services in the national Capital are going from bad to worse. And when there is breakdown, the lifeline of the national capital region snaps. This may not be understood by Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu or by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who are partners in the Metro operations.
This trauma once again visited metro travellers on Tuesday, when services on the Blueline snapped. Metro commuters in the national capital faced a difficult time as trains on the over-crowded Noida Line started getting delayed especially during what’s called the busy “office hour”. The Blue Line, which runs over 50 kilometres, is the longest metro corridor in Delhi NCR connecting Noida/Vaishali on the eastern periphery with Dwarka on the western fringes of the megapolis.
