Delhi Metro trains and city buses to run with full seating capacity

In a major relief for commuters, authorities announced on Tuesday that city buses and metro trains will return to running to their full seating capacity throughout the week in the wake of long queues witnessed at various bus stands stations of the mass rapid transit system.

However, the new regulations come amid a massive surge in coronavirus cases -- 5,481 cases with a positivity rate of 8.37 per cent.

The new regulations came as the Delhi government had feared that bus stops and metro stations could become super spreaders after the seating capacity had been halved and long queues were seen at such places.
