Bhopal Metro Extends Sunday Service, Trains Every 15 Minutes
Bhopal Metro is a fast train system that helps people travel around the city of Bhopal.
The people who run the Metro decided to make it even better on Sundays and public holidays.
On those days, trains will come every 15 minutes all day long.
The Metro will also stay open for one hour longer than before.
The last train in the evening leaves at 7:30 pm, and the last bus leaves at 8 pm.
On normal weekdays, the schedule stays exactly the same as before.
The reason for this change is that more and more people want to ride the Metro.
The Metro also got a new, smarter signalling system that helps trains run safely and on time.
To make riding more fun, they are giving discounts on return tickets and family tickets.
People who add money to their Metro app wallet can also get extra free money.
This makes the Metro a cheaper and easier way to travel.
Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL) announced extended Bhopal Metro services on Sundays and public holidays, with trains running every 15 minutes throughout the day.
