A technical glitch on the Hyderabad Metro caused significant delays for passengers on Wednesday evening, leading to charges for overstaying in the system due to the unexpected hold-ups.
Three trains were halted at the LB Nagar and Miyapur metro line, resulting in overcrowding and discomfort for commuters. L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd stated that the services were briefly affected due to the tripping of an incoming TRANSCO feeder at the MGBS.
Commuters, who were charged an overstay fee due to the delays, took to social media to highlight the unfair surcharge and questioned the metro’s policies.
