MUMBAI: Mumbai metro services are set to resume from today. The Government of Maharashtra had granted permission for the resumption of metro services on October 14, but the Mumbai Metro took time to accomplish all the safety runs. The trains will run from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM with standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place. Only 200 services of trains will run as compared to 400 before the lockdown in March.
Wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and thermal screening has been made mandatory for travel in the metro. No plastic tokens are being issued and passengers are using digital tickets, smart cards, and QR-based tickets. The temperature inside the coaches is maintained at 25-27 degree Celsius and the metro is carrying only 360 passengers compared to 1,350 passengers per service earlier. Seats in coaches have also been marked to ensure social distancing.
The authorities will be carrying out regular disinfection of stations and coaches. The Mumbai Metro also released a list of operational entry gates at all the stations to help the commuters .
