Hyderabad Metro Extends New Year’s Eve Hours, Delhi Metro Adopts Crowd Control Measures

On New Year's Eve, Hyderabad Metro Rail will run until 1:15 am for safe travel, while Delhi Metro restricts exits at Rajiv Chowk from 9:00 pm for crowd control. Both initiatives aim to enhance passenger safety during celebrations, with extensions and restrictions in place for effective commuter management.

In a bid to ensure safe travel during New Year's celebrations, Hyderabad Metro Rail will operate extended hours. Officials from Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited have announced that the last trains will depart from all terminal stations at 12:30 am and reach their endpoints by 1:15 am on January 1, 2025. This extension aims to provide safe and convenient late-night transportation options for passengers.

Meanwhile, in Delhi, the Metro Rail Corporation has imposed exit restrictions at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station starting from 9:00 PM on December 31. According to a social media post, police authorities have advised these restrictions as a crowd-control measure. While exits at Rajiv Chowk will be closed from 9:00 PM, the entry of passengers will continue until the last train departs, ensuring crowd safety during New Year's Eve festivities.

Further measures include the non-issuance of QR tickets through the DMRC mobile app for destinations ending at Rajiv Chowk from 8:00 PM on the same day. Metro services on the rest of the Delhi network will operate as per the usual schedule. Authorities are urging commuters to plan their journeys in advance and cooperate for a safe and secure New Year celebration.
