In an effort to make it easier for fans to get home after the matches, the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) has decided to extend the metro hours on Friday (Qualifier 2) and Sunday (IPL Final) to 01:30 AM. GMRC has also made the decision to increase the frequency of trains during the game, with one arriving every ten minutes to manage the anticipated rush.
In addition, IPL matchday ticket holders won’t have to wait in queue at the station to purchase return tickets due to the 25 advance special tickets that are distributed. This action was taken because, on previous matchdays, there had been a lot of congestion at the metro stations as people waited in line to buy return tickets all at once.
