Metro service suspension leads to chaos at Peenya
The HinduCommuters at Peenya Industry metro station experienced a chaotic morning on Tuesday due to a suspension of metro services between Peenya Industry and Nagasandra stations. The suspension, which took effect on Tuesday and will continue sporadically throughout August and September 2024, caught many travellers off guard, leading to a massive rush during the peak morning hours. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. announced the suspension to facilitate critical signalling tests on the Green Line extension. It took me nearly an hour to get inside the station, and by then, the trains were overcrowded.” BMRCL officials acknowledged the challenges faced by commuters and assured that efforts were being made to manage the crowd better in the coming days.
