A senior official of the SCR said, “The MMTS services have a good number of dedicated patrons. Track works as well as technical works have to be done so we cancel some services on Sundays, mostly because on these days, the footfall of commuters is around 10 percent. We ensure that the majority of commuters do not face any inconvenience.”
