In a bid to boost ridership, Chennai Metro Rail is planning to give 50% fare discount on Sundays. It may either be 50% discount on Sunday alone or on Sundays and other public holidays. If this plan is implemented, there is a possibility that more people will use Metro Rail,” another official said. Since, a large number of people gather at the Marina on Sundays and other public holidays, a 50% discount will draw more crowds to the Metro.
