To improve public transport in the city, authorities have announced that more metro trains will run on the Blue Line of the Chennai Metro Rail. This step has been taken to reduce overcrowding and make travel easier for passengers on one of the busiest metro routes in Chennai.
The decision comes as the number of commuters using the Blue Line has increased in recent months. During morning and evening peak hours, many people depend on this line to travel to work, colleges, and other important places. Officials said that the additional trains will reduce waiting time on platforms and help passengers travel more comfortably.
The new metro services will run at planned intervals throughout the day, with more trains during peak hours when passenger demand is high. This will help improve the flow of passengers and reduce congestion inside trains.
Authorities said this move is part of a larger plan to encourage people to use public transport instead of private vehicles. By improving metro services, the government hopes to reduce traffic congestion and pollution on city roads, while offering a faster and more reliable travel option for Chennai residents.
