As the incident took place during the morning rush hour,it caused inconvenience to many Metro commuters. The Noida corridor is the longest line in the existing Metro network,and has a daily ridership of over six lakh passengers.

Though Metro officials maintained that the snag was rectified within 15 minutes,other trains on the corridor were held up due to bunching on the entire line. Commuters complained that there were no train services for around 30 minutes during that period.
