How the Extended Metro Service Will Help Garba Enthusiasts

Navratri celebrations across Ahmedabad draw large crowds to Garba venues, with many events continuing late into the night. Extending metro operations gives revellers an alternative to private cars, two-wheelers and other transport options.

The additional services may also help ease pressure on roads around popular venues during peak festival hours. Passengers are advised to allow sufficient time to reach stations and confirm the final departure for their intended route.
