Anticipating more rush on the occasion of ‘Raksha Bandhan’ and with its network now expanding across the NCR,Delhi Metro will run 187 extra trips on its five corridors on Tuesday to cater to the additional passengers.

This is a steep increase from last year’s 60 extra trips the Metro trains made on Raksha Bandhan which kept the DMRC’s cash registers ringing with over a million people opting for the new age transport system.
