The decision to extend the timing from 10 pm to 11 pm is aimed at encouraging public transport use and reducing fuel consumption. The decision follows an appeal by Narendra Modi urging citizens to make maximum use of public transport systems, including metro services, in view of the current global situation and the need for fuel conservation.
