Delhi Metro Adjusts Timings for MCD Bye-Elections
The Delhi Metro is changing its usual schedule for two days because of special elections happening in the city.
On November 30 and December 3, the metro will start its services earlier than usual, at 4 AM.
This is to help the people who are working in the elections to move around more easily.
The metro is very important for people in Delhi, as it is a cheap and reliable way to travel.
Normally, the metro runs on a regular schedule, but sometimes it changes to better serve the people of Delhi, especially during special events like these elections.
On the polling day, the last train will also leave at 11:30 PM instead of the usual 11:00 PM.
There is also a 48-hour silence period before the elections where no election-related matters can be displayed in any media.
Delhi Metro will start services at 4 AM on November 30 and December 3 due to MCD bye-elections.
The early start applies to all lines and terminals as part of the election-day travel plan.
The change is to facilitate the movement of polling personnel and deployed staff.
On the polling day, the last train will depart at 11:30 PM instead of the usual 11:00 PM.
A 48-hour silence period has been imposed from 05:30 PM on November 28 to 05:30 PM on November 30, 2025.
