more-inWith few buses and taxis plying regular routes, commuters turned to Namma Metro, which saw an increase in ridership. Water-logged roads and the lack of cabs and buses made it an almost impossible task to return home. There were reports of water seeping into some stations, but this did not affect operations, BMRCL officials said. The rush in the Metro was more than usual, commuters said. BMRCL continued operating trains from all four terminating stations even after 11.30 p.m. to help stranded commuters get back home.
