Great initiative by DMRC! Early metro services will help thousands reach yoga venues on time. Proud to see how Yoga Day has become a global phenomenon starting from India 🇮🇳. Just hope the frequency increases after 6 AM when crowds swell.

While I appreciate the early metro services, I wonder about the operational costs. Is this the best use of public resources? Maybe corporate sponsors could support such special arrangements instead of burdening taxpayers.

Fantastic news! My whole housing society is participating this year. The 4 AM start means we can reach Rajpath well in time. Kudos to PM Modi for making yoga India's soft power 🧘‍♂️. Just hope the metro staff gets proper overtime for this.

As a senior citizen, I won't be able to attend the main event but will do yoga at home. Glad to see our ancient practice getting this recognition! The metro timing change shows how seriously we take yoga now. More power to all participants!

30-minute frequency at 4 AM seems adequate, but DMRC should deploy extra staff at major stations. Last year there was chaos at Kashmere Gate when thousands arrived together. Better crowd management needed this time!
