Plans are on the anvil to offer this facility to Infosys employees who work out of the Sholinganallur office.The idea behind this initiative was to promote the use of public transportation. In the coming weeks, Infosys employees in Sholinganallur can also avail this facility. They can take the train and reach a certain point, and from there the office buses will pick them to work, said CMRL official.Further sources also said that on Friday, a handful of employees from various points in Chennai took the Metro till the Alandur station and boarded the office bus that was waiting for them. “This pattern will continue henceforth.

‘Good plan’

An Infosys employee said that out of the Mahindra World City office, on condition of anonymity, I saw the notification very late so I could not take the Metro. But this plan seems good, considering the traffic in the city during prime hours in the morning. I live near Koyambedu, where the traffic is high and taking a train until Alandur makes sense.Recently, Chennai Metro Rail has also struck a similar deal with DLF, Porur.The employees take the Metro train till Alandur and then take a 14-seater van to the office.

Hazrat Nizamuddin metro station to be a major transit hub
New Delhi: The Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station on the Majlis Park – Shiv Vihar Pink corridor of Delhi Metro’s Phase 3 will be one of the Metro network’s major transit hubs as the station would provide direct connectivity with the Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station as well as the Sarai Kale Khan Inter State Bus Terminus.The station will have dedicated entry/exit points connecting to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station and the ISBT at Sarai Kale Khan. One of the entry/exit points will be within a vicinity of 50 metres from the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT. Another entry/exit will be near the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station approximately at a distance of 150 metres.This station will be a major boost from the point of view of connectivity as both the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station and the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT do not have any Metro connectivity presently. The nearest Metro stations are at least 3 to 4 kilometres away. The station will also be equipped with broad staircases and escalators for the convenience of the passengers.The famous Indraprasth Park and the upcoming Seven Wonders project will be at the walking distance from Hazrat Nizamuddin station. The Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station also provides connectivity to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station as well as the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT there.The Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station will also have drop off bays near its three entry/exit points as per the Multi Modal Integration (MMI) plan. Adequate greening and beautification have been done around the underground station and tabletop pedestrian crossings have been provided on the roads in the vicinity for the movement of the pedestrians. The station has also been adorned by 30 artworks which portray the historical heritage of the nearby areas. Thematic impressions and ‘jharokhas’ have also been used to beautify the station.The major challenges faced during the construction of the Hazrat Nizamuddin station was the very high water table and highly varying geotechnical conditions (varying from garbage filled top layer to good soil to sandy soil to highly weathered rock to very hard rock within the stretch of just 265 meters). Controlled blasting was also adopted to break the very hard rock.Due to highly varying geotechnical conditions, half of the station was constructed by bottom-up approach and other half by top-down approach. The diversion of Ring Road was also a big challenge. There were innumerable power as well as Delhi Jal Board utilities (both underground and overhead) which had to be meticulously diverted so that the services rendered by these utilities did not suffer.The Hazrat Nizamuddin is the 3rd biggest railway terminus of the national capital after New Delhi and Delhi. Most south bound trains including Rajdhani and super fast trains originate from here.  The Sarai Kale Khan ISBT is one of three major bus terminuses of Delhi along with Kashmere Gate and Anand Vihar. Buses for various locations in Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh originate from here.

Delhi Metro | New centralized online monitoring of lifts and escalators to start
New Delhi: Delhi Metro commuters often complain about escalators stop moving suddenly or remain out of use for days. Now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is planning a centralized online monitoring of all the escalators as well as elevators, which number over 1,500 across the entire Delhi Metro network. The central command center will be notified immediately about any glitch and the concerned station control room will be intimated to fix the problem right away. Initially, it is being implemented on the 59 km long Pink Line between Majlis Park and Shiv Vihar, which is also the longest corridor of Delhi Metro.The line covers 38 metro stations, which have 135 elevators and 215 escalators. Out of these, 56 elevators and 106 escalators are already being used by the public and the balance equipment will be made available on the opening of the other sections for revenue operation later this year, the report stated.Anuj Dayal, Executive Director of Corporate Communications, DMRC was quoted in the report saying that in order to monitor the increased number of elevators and escalators effectively, Delhi Metro has invited bids to explore the use of technology for centralized monitoring of elevators and escalators provided on the Pink Line. He further informed that on the basis of the outcome, the future course of action shall be decided. For metro commuters, elevators and escalators are important facilities as they help commuters negotiate different levels, such as concourse, ground as well as platform at the metro stations and with the expansion of the Delhi Metro network, the numbers of elevators and escalators are increasing, he mentioned and also informed that all elevators and escalators of Phase III project were energy efficient.

While elaborating the system, Dayal said that the status, as well as fault codes, are already available individually at each elevator and escalator. The information will be taken from each equipment and using the matching communication protocol, it will be brought to the station control room. Then, the information, from each station will be sent to a central server using the communication network. Following this, the concerned officers will be authorized to access the information at the central server, which can be used to check the operational status, plan maintenance requirements and also to carry out different analysis, which shall evolve gradually over a period of time. At the command center, once a fault is detected, the station control room would be asked to fix the problem. He added that even though the process of rectification is likely to remain the same, the response shall be faster, which is likely to reduce the downtime of equipment.

Bangalore Metro | Security man demands riders to speak in Hindi
Bengaluru: A commuter travelling in Bangalore Metro had a rather bizarre experience. A security staff member stationed at Lalbaugh Metro Station demanded a senior IT manger to speak in Hindi with him. This was a rather ‘rude behaviour’ which caught the commuter off-guard.The incident took place when a senior manager from well-known IT firm was travelling in metro. He was not very happy when a security staff member put up unruly demand.The agitated commuters logged a complaint with customer care and ticketing staff as well. Going a step further he also conveyed the incident to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) top officials.As per the commuters, Prakash (name withheld on request) was rushing towards the metro station during rains. He was to take a train and escape from the rains. Prakash asked the security guard at the station regarding elevator. The staff in turn ordered him to only speak with him in Hindi. The demand took the traveller by surprise. This incident took place on September 15 at Bangalore Metro Station.While speaking to Indian Express the commuter shared his experience. He was quoted as, “Brandishing his ‘lathi’ and hitting it on his own left hand, he asked me if I knew Hindi. He then told me to learn Hindi.”Prakash felt that it is okay if the security guard was not well-versed with Kannada. He felt that the guard could have politely put up the request since Prakash can fluently speak in Hindi as well.He also tweeted it to BMRCL Public Relations Officer U A Vasanth Rao: Can the BMRCL Security guards be polite & courteous to people? Just because I spoke in kannada – it does not mean he has to abuse and threaten me…”His second tweet read: Have made a verbal complaint to Ticketing Staff & Customer Care person on Security guard abusive behaviour for speaking in kannada this evening. Security guard does not speak kannada or allows anyone to speak in Kannada at Metro. Is it right thing at Karnataka?”When CPRO was asked about the incident, he said he was not aware about it. But he assured that he will find out and get back to the press.This is not the first time such an incident has come to light. Such incidents have happened in past and BMRCL had also proposed posting on Kannada-speaking staffers across all Bangalore Metro stations.

Mumbai Metro | Airport Metro line likely to hit roadblock
Mumbai: Looks like the case of double trouble for the Airport Line. As per sources this line may hit a roadblock as well. The reason being that execution delay in the CST-Panvel elevated corridor which is likely cause a setback.This setback will be for the proposed construction of high-speed metro by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) that will link Mumbai Airport to Navi Mumbai airport. This project is under construction.As per the plan the high-speed metro corridor will run parallel to the CST-Panvel elevated corridor. It will begin from Mankhurd with an intersection near Nerul heading towards Navi Mumbai airport.MMRDA official shared that Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is in the process of preparing detailed report for the project. But, if there further delay in building CST-Panvel corridor, it may hold-up construction of the proposed high-speed metro linking the airports.The MMRDA official further added that proposed metro corridor will run parallel to the CST-Panvel elevated corridor. It will have an intersection near Nerul. They cannot construct the metro prior to construction of CST-Panvel elevated corridor. On the other hand, precise alignment is yet to be decided.As per the plan the metro corridor is likely to begin from International Airport wherein it is expected to split its terminal with the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 underground corridor from where it will run underground up to Ghatkopar. From Ghatkopar, it will be elevated till Mankhurd from where additionally it will convene at the planned CST-Panvel elevated metro corridor.According to the plan, the high-speed corridor between two airport will be operational round the clock as planned by MMRDA.Taking into consideration that it links both the two airports it will be advantageous for those who have connecting flights from these two airports during night. But the frequency at night may not be same as that during the day.
