Following demands to that effect from commuters, Maha Metro nagpur has decided to increase frequency of trains beginning Monday (18th September). Beginning Monay trains would ply at 10 minute interval instead of 15 minutes from 8 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. This would effectively increase the frequency of train services by almost 25 %.
Trains would commute with reduced headway on both the Orange and Aqua Lines and from all the four terminal metro stations of Khapri, Lokmanya Nagar, Automotive Square and Prajapati Nagar. The new headway would cater to the increased commuters, which includes a good number of students. Metro services are available from 6 am to 10 pm every day.
Of late there has been demand to increase frequency of trains especially during the morning hours, when students travel to educational institutions. Similarly the office-going commuters and others who travel for their business destinations would also rush to Metro Stations. Same would be the case in the evening when students and others rush to their homes.
Maha Metro has taken multiple steps including giving fare discounts at various levels. This includes Students Concession, Gazetted Holiday Discount, Weekend Discount and Daily Pass. Besides, commuters using Maha Card get a 10 % discount on Metro fares. The new headway would offer faster travel to the Nagpur Metro commuters.
