The peak time headways are slightly less frequent than normally. This is due to global problems with the availability of spare parts, which also affect the Metro operator, Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd.

Due to the shortage of spare parts, there are fewer trains available than normally. The slightly reduced service frequency may lead to longer waiting times for those using Metro feeder buses.

All Metro timetables are available in the Journey Planner.
