The Story in Brief
Bhopal Metro trains will run every 15 minutes on Sundays and public holidays, with services continuing until around 8.30 pm, the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited said, according to the Free Press Journal. The last train from Subhash Nagar to AIIMS will leave at 7.30 pm, while the final service from AIIMS will depart at 8 pm.
On working days, trains will maintain the existing timetable, including 15-minute frequencies during the morning and evening peaks. MPMRCL has also introduced digital ticketing, cashless payments and discounts of 5% on return tickets and 10% on group tickets. E-wallet recharges carry bonuses ranging from 8% to 15%.
The Indian Opinion
Longer Sunday services may help passengers, but claims of a major shift in urban travel should wait for actual ridership data. The useful test is simple: whether the extra evening hour and shorter waits bring more passengers without reducing reliability. MPMRCL should publish Sunday ridership and punctuality figures after a few months, rather than relying on promotional discounts to show that the change is working.
