The Story in Brief
Bhopal Metro trains will run every 15 minutes on Sundays and public holidays, with services extended by an hour, the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited said. 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, allowing travel until about 8.30 pm.
Weekday timings remain unchanged, with 15-minute services during the morning and evening peaks. MPMRCL is offering 5% off return tickets, 10% off group tickets and bonus credit of 8% to 15% on eligible e-wallet recharges. The changes follow the use of an advanced signalling system for regular operations on both tracks.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that a new timetable alone will transform Bhopal’s public transport. It will not. Nor should the cashless offers be treated as proof that access has improved for every passenger, especially those without smartphones or digital payment tools. The fair test is sustained usage on Sundays, shorter actual waits and reliable last services. MPMRCL should publish those figures after the first month.
