With no daily train service from Mangaluru towards Karwar/ Madgaon between 3.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m., patrons have urged the Railway Ministry to provide at least one service leaving Mangaluru at around 5 p.m. towards Karwar to benefit regular travellers.
A daily service in the evening hours would also encourage the habit of commuting by train, thereby reducing dependence on road transport and immensely contributing to environment conservation, the commuters argue. At present, only a tri-weekly service, Train No. 16515, Yeshwantpur-Karwar Express that leaves Mangaluru Junction at 4.45 pm to reach Karwar at 10.30 pm is available.
