The Delhi Metro customers will now be able to book their bike taxi rides from Delhi Metro’s official mobile app, DMRC Momentum (Delhi Sarthi 2.0) itself without the need to juggle between multiple apps.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Friday urged the public to choose public transport to reduce congestion and air pollution in the city.
Talking to The Statesman, an official from the DMRC said: "Services were delayed on the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line due to some technical issue which was developed in the train at Rajiv Chowk metro station."
"As a result, trains are running at restricted speed in this section resulting in bunching of trains," a DMRC spokesperson said here on Monday. However, normal train services are available on the rest of the section of Yellow Line.
However, the final call to operate the metro services has to be taken by the state government.
The commissioning of the Metro line passing close by, a few years ago, brought additional load of dirty water to the street’s drainage from the Metro system.
DMRC said the move is aimed at encouraging the public to stay indoors and maintain social distancing, which is essential in the fight against COVID-19.
The services will be launched by ETO Motors, an Electric Mobility provider from March 20, 2020 after the DMRC has permitted the same.
"Metro services at two stations of Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli to HUDA City Centre) will not be available as per the specific timings," said the official.
