Puner Metro's policy of barring bicycles from its trains has sparked confusion among commuters, with many questioning the restriction on a corridor designed to enhance connectivity in the city. The operator issued a reminder on X, warning passengers that bicycles are not allowed inside Puneri Metro trains. While some commuters have backed the decision, arguing that bicycles could cause inconvenience during peak hours and overcrowding, others believe passengers should be allowed to bring them for convenience, health, and sustainable travel.
This restriction is surprising, as Maha-Metro had previously permitted passengers to carry bicycles on its trains under certain conditions. However, Puneri Metro's latest advisory diverges from this policy. While the reason for the decision remains unclear, commuters are left wondering whether foldable bicycles would be allowed or if the restriction is permanent. The operator has not yet provided further clarification on the policy's future.
