Noida:
In order to reduce the travel time of Aqua Line commuters, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) on Tuesday said it has decided to introduce "fast trains" which will skip stations having low ridership during peak hours.
The initiative will be implemented in February, NMRC Managing Director Ritu Maheshwari said in a statement.
She said Metro train services starting from terminal stations (Sector 51 Station and Depot Station) from 8 am to 11 am and 5 pm to 8 pm on weekdays i.e., Monday to Friday will be "fast trains".
"Of the 21 stations on the Aqua Line, 10 stations will be skipped by these fast trains during peak hours," Ms Maheshwari said.
