Prasanna Kumar, a regular metro user, said, “I rely on the metro to get to work on my day shift on Sundays too. The disruption caused a delay, but thankfully, there wasn’t much crowding as it was a Sunday.”
Another commuter, Ananya Rao,from Indiranagar said, “I had to reach Kengeri bus stop on Mysuru road to catch a bus to Mysuru. The unannounced delay was frustrating.”
Despite the disruption, metro services in all other sections started as scheduled from 7:00 a.m. Meanwhile, the BMRCL officials apologized for the inconvenience to commuters on social media as well as in the metro and said that the maintenance work was crucial for ensuring passenger safety.
