Odd even formula: Twitterati question Delhi government as metro stations get crowded
New Delhi, Jan 4: Monday was said to be the first real day of test for Delhi government's ambitious Odd-even rule, as the national capital was back to working mode ever since the scheme was launched on Friday, Jan 1.
Though Delhi roads saw lesser number of 'odd' vehicles, for today was the day for even vehicles, but the public transport, especially Delhi metro, were flooded with people.
As per commuters, there were chaotic sights in the rush hours of the day, as every body was in a haste to reach his/her destination on time and metro was the most convenient mode of transport for them.
Odd even formula: Good move by Kejriwal govt but short of coherent strategy
People took to Twitter to recount their experience in the metro on the first working day.
There
were
people
who
slammed
the
Arvind
Kejriwal
government
for
spreading
chaos
in
Delhi
while
there
were
those
who
commended
the
government
for
its
brave
move.
Here
is
how
people
reacted
on
Twitter
on
first
full
working
day:
One
and
half
hour
queue
to
get
inside
Saket
Metro
Station.
20
Minutes
to
get
out.
Horror
tales
of
Odd
-
Even
doing
rounds.
Good
job
Arvind.
