Have been standing at the same spot for the past 25 minutes and entering the metro station can take one more hour."The waiting time for commuters on the Delhi Metro has been increased. Only ten to 15 passengers are being allowed to enter the station in one go.As per the new curbs, Delhi Metro will run with 50 per cent seating capacity, standing will not be permitted, schools, colleges, cinema halls and gyms will be closed, shops selling non-essential items will open on an odd-even basis.If you want to reach your office on time, then it is advisable to start two hours early from home.
