Hyderabad: Frequent disruptions in Metro Rail services in Hyderabad due to technical snags and other reasons lead to commuters’ ire. An impression is fast gaining ground that the ‘so-called’ world standard metro service in the city is becoming unreliable due to its recurrent breakdowns at various stations. These breakdowns adversely affect other rail services at the whole metro corridor.
Since its inauguration, Metro Services suffered breakdown twice in 2018, the number of breakdowns increased to a record six in 2019 and its number was five in 2020. In 2021, during just a month’s time, the services stopped twice. Once it stopped between Jubilee Hills and Check post stop.
