The Delhi Metro had resumed services on June 7 after a hiatus of four weeks because of the improved Covid situation in the national capital.
Since then, they are reporting several changes in the travel experience, especially long queues outside the station and stricter scrutiny to ensure social distancing.
Several people took to Twitter and shared their grievances by posting images of long queues outside the metro stations in Delhi.
Today was even more!
A queue of more than 50min, people getting frustrated & exhausted.
What kind of management and social distancing is the government trying to prove. Why can't they open both the gates and reduce the queues on the road. #DelhiMetro is in itself is designed for a continuous traffic flow. It is really inconvenient. @ArvindKejriwalpic.twitter.com/cTWislswyC
