MADHU AGRAWAL

03 September, 2010

DMRC should experiment by having two ladies-exclusive coaches in each metro-train, one each at both ends of the train when full eight-coach trains are put in service. Or otherwise, ladies-exclusive trains with distinct colour can be run.

THIS REFERS to the start of long awaited Jahangirpuri-Gurgaon route by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) from today. But such a long route does require optimum capacity of metro-trains with full eight-coach capacity rather than dumping passengers in over-crowded four-coach rakes.

Vast popularity and comfort of metro-travel has reached to a stage of saturation with long queues seen even upto outside the station premises. Metro-trains should now have round-the-clock service though with reduced frequency at lean night-hours. Such steps will be beneficial not only for passdengers but will also provide much more revenue-earning with same infrastructure.

DMRC should experiment by having two ladies-exclusive coaches in each metro-train, one each at both ends of the train when full eight-coach trains are put in service. Or otherwise, ladies-exclusive trains with distinct colour can be run at some intervals. Since frequency of metro-train service at different routes is quite satisfactory, accompanying gents can wait for some minutes at the destination-station for ladies coming in ladies-exclusive trains. Experiment can also be made by having separate exit and entry gates in each coach for convenience of passengers.
