Times of India | Capital punishment? Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Metro goes home before commuters do

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Ahmedabad‑Gandhinagar Metro, which began operating in 2022, has seen daily ridership triple to about 152,000 passengers and a total of 13.4 crore boardings, yet its service ends between 7:22 pm and 8:09 pm, leaving many office workers in Gandhinagar stranded after typical work hours. Commuters, business leaders, and urban planners argue that the early closure undermines the region’s role as a “global business hub,” especially for the many companies in GIFT City and other IT, finance, and academic institutions that operate late into the night to match international time zones. Calls are growing to extend metro hours to at least 10:30 pm, with proposals to gradually add two more hours of service, improve frequency on the Gandhinagar stretch, and thereby boost ridership and reduce reliance on private vehicles and taxis.
