Delhi Metro ran with a 100% seating capacity

New Delhi: When the City Government announced further restrictions on Saturday given the enhanced Covid situation, Delhi Metro officials said the service would now run with full seating capacity from July 26, but there will still be provisions for commuter standing.

There will still be provisions to stand traveling into the coach, as June 7, they said.
The official source previously said that each coach had a capacity of around 300 riders, 50 sitting and 250 stood.
Since standing commuters is not allowed, so effective 50 people can ride on each carriage.
So, effectively the carrying capacity is around 17-18 percent, which has been 10 percent since June 7 because of the rules of 50 percent, they said.
“DMRC will further examine the revised guidelines issued today and if needed, detailed guidelines of the operational perspective will be done and communicated accordingly,” said Metro Delhi in a statement.
When traveling in a standing position still has not been permitted by the authorities, entering the station will also continue to be arranged through the gate identified in accordance with ongoing practices, an official said.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation service is fully suspended since May 10, given the covid-induced locking in Delhi.
This was first applied on April 19, and in a row extended by the city government.
