Aerial view of the Namma Metro train near in Bengaluru. TOI BENGALURU: Passengers traveling on the Purple Line (Byappanahalli and Mysuru Road) faced severe inconvenience on Wednesday morning due to disruptions in Metro services.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) tweeted: "Due to noticing of honey comb formation in concrete, restoration works is in progress at Trinity station. Speed restrictions are imposed at this location. Trains may run between 10 to 15 mins and there may be delays in operation. Commuters are requested to cooperate with us (sic)”
In another tweet, the BMRCL said that from 8.15am onwards trains have been running on both the tracks on the purple line and pace is slowly expected to return to normalcy as the day progresses. However, due to speed restrictions at Trinity station, delays might be temporarily unavoidable.
Many Metro passengers stranded at stations were unaware of the situation and were obviously not amused. Naveen, a passenger, tweeted: "There were no announcements in any of the stations and staffs were not aware of the situation. Maturity is required in metro operation (sic)".
Another passenger Vishwa tweeted: "Timely information will save lots of rupees. Plz update on time, when the services are back to normal. 1000000s of ppl can plan their travel accordingly and same time & money (Sic)" Supriya C tweeted: "There is delay in all metro stops on this route, 10-15minutes delay and passengers are facing issue. No intimidation in metro stops as well on the time duration of metro arrival. Plan your journey accordingly (sic)".
