Take a new year “JOYRIDE”

Wondering how to usher in the New Year? How about taking a ride on the Metro, soaking in the sights and scenes of the city’s life by night? Namma Metro will operate till 2am Jan. 1 and this could be a big boon for those heading home after a night of revelry.
    The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd has extended its timings, but just for a day. The services could be extended on Christmas Day too, but that would depend on the number of footfalls, said a BMRC press release.
    The Metro operates between MG Road and Byappanahalli till 11pm in the first week of getting on track, though the normal operating time is 6am to 10pm. The timing was extended because of the huge flow of excited commuters who wanted to take a joy ride. During weekends, the average ridership was around 50,000 per day during the two months.
