BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 15. An enhanced working
regime will be implemented at Baku Metro CJSC, one of the AZCON
Holding companies in connection with the 13th Session of the World
Urban Forum (WUF13) to be held in Baku on May 17-22, a source in
the Baku Metro CJSC told Trend.
Changes will be made to the train schedule in order to ensure
safe and uninterrupted management of passenger flow in accordance
with the cultural and mass events to be held in the capital and the
operational plan.
Thus, although the first day of the event - May 17 - falls on a
non-working day, train movement will be ensured according to the
Saturday schedule.
On that day, the interval between 28 May-Ahmadli and the
opposite direction will be 2:30 minutes.
On the other days of the session, trains will operate in the
most technically possible dense traffic mode, in accordance with
the traditional weekday schedule. The interval on the 28
May-Ahmadli section will be 1 minute 45 seconds.
The schedule will not be changed on the Purple Line, as well as
on the Ahmadli-Hazi Aslanov and Jafar Jabbarli-Khatai shuttle
service areas.
In addition, spare trains will be kept on standby to promptly
regulate passenger traffic.
Volunteers will also be operating in the Baku Metro during the
days of WUF13. A total of 56 volunteers will work in shifts at 9
stations (07:00-15:00 and 15:00-22:00) to support passengers and
event participants.
