However, there is a demand from the commuters to run the trains between 10 pm and 3 pm.

A user on X wrote: "Why is the train taking rest between 11 - 4, when it is expected to be too hot and ppl need ac service?"

The second user added: "Please increase the frequency and during mid day when it is very hot." Another user claimed: "Maintain punctuality and increase more services btw tbm to beach n from central to gummidipoondi n avadi."

Another user complained: "Frequency is important for this to succeed. People can't wait for one hour to catch AC train during peak hours. Railways should design AC compartments as part of existing suburban trains with auto door & internal check-in facilities at Metro rates."
