Mangaluru, Nov 2: Rail passengers have urged the Railway Ministry to run at least one train that leaves Mangaluru at 5 pm daily towards Karwar to benefit frequent travellers.
Presently, there is no daily service from the City towards Karwar/ Madgaon between 3.30 pm and 9.30 pm.
Frequent travelers feel that a daily evening service between Mangaluru and Karwar would encourage people to travel by train and make it a habit and also reduce the dependence on road transport services.
