Chennai Metro Rail has taken a significant step to ease the peak hour rush by testing normally open AFC gates at Thousand Lights station. This move aims to streamline the entry and exit process for passengers during busy hours. The initiative is part of Chennai Metro’s ongoing efforts to enhance commuter experience and ensure smooth operations. By allowing the AFC gates to remain open, passengers can move through the station more quickly, reducing congestion and wait times. This test at Thousand Lights station is a pilot project that may be expanded to other stations if successful. Commuters are encouraged to take advantage of this new system and provide feedback to Chennai Metro authorities for further improvements. The implementation of such measures reflects Chennai Metro’s commitment to providing efficient and convenient public transportation services to residents and visitors in the city.
