Lucknow Metro | LMRC about to launched it’s official app

Lucknow: Even three months after the launch of Metro service in the state capital, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) has still not been able to introduce the official app of Lucknow Metro. Making most of the delay, 16 other apps have already been launched and are available for free download.These apps provide information about Lucknow Metro route and fare and have been downloaded by more than 60,000 people till now.The situation is worrisome for IT experts in LMRC because when people already have options to get all information about the service and are using it already, they might not feel the need to download the official app.
Keeping this in mind, LMRC plans to incorporate some special features in the official app like calculation of fare between two stations and smart card recharge through it.

According to sources, the LMRC app will have more features than Delhi Metro’s app, and unlike others that provide information just about fare details from source station to destination station, it will also give an option to calculate fare between two stations.
Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation is also planning to bring in special vouchers that will only be available on the official app to increase its public usage and popularityDGM of IT department of LMRC Akashdeep Sehgal said, “Our official app will be far better and much more user-friendly than the ones available now. We will soon launch the official app and along with fare and route details, it will have all the information that one can see on the LMRC official website.”

Delhi Metro | DMRC starts trial of metro train in Mundka-Bahadurgarh corridor

New Delhi: After Gurgaon and Faridabad, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is going to foray into Haryana for the third time. Trials have started on a new 11km corridor that will put Bahadurgarh on the metro map.The trial runs are being conducted between Tikri Kalan and City Park stations of the Mundka-Bahadurgarh corridor. The corridor will also be the longest “straight-line stretch” that Delhi metro has ever constructed, with no twist or turn between Mundka and Bahadurgarh.“The trials will involve civil, electrical, rolling stock work, and signalling testing and certification,” said a DMRC spokesperson.Though most of the construction work on the corridor is complete, it can’t be opened to public as the link between the viaduct and train depot is missing because of land issues. “The Mundka-Bahadurgarh metro corridor is an extension of the existing Inderlok-Mundka corridor (Line-5) of the Delhi metro. The metro corridor will run along NH-10 (Rohtak Road) on an elevated viaduct,” added the DMRC spokesperson.
There are total seven stations on the stretch, of which four are in Delhi—Mundka Industrial Area, Ghevra, Tikri Kalan and Tikri Border—and three are in Haryana—Modern Industrial Estate, Bus Stand and City Park.

While trial runs on the Haryana stretch of the corridor have begun, the trials on the Delhi side would start in January 2018. “There is a little problem regarding depot connectivity,” DMRC’s managing director Mangu Singh told TOI. “The land was acquired but the high court squashed that land acquisition. So, at present, there is no connection between the depot and the viaduct. The depot, the viaduct and the stations are ready but the connectivity is missing,” he said.The spokesperson said that the targeted deadline for opening the section is June 2018 but when it will actually start depends on the availability of land for depot connectivity, which has to be provided by Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA).
The Haryana government had sought an extension of Delhi metro till Kundli, which is on the Delhi-Haryana border near Sonipat. “The elephant has to come first, and only then would the tail come. What they are talking is the extension of the proposed Phase IV line from Rithala to Narela, which will be extended to Kundli. The line has to come first. We have prepared a detailed project report and given it to them,” Singh said.

Lucknow Metro | LMRC installs Automatic Waste Composing Machine at Transport Nagar depot

Lucknow: Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) today installed a fully automatic waste composting machine inside its Transport Nagar Metro Depot at Transport Nagar. The machine started working after Shri Kumar Keshav, Managing Director inaugurated its working by pressing the start button of the machine.

“It is yet another step ahead taken by LMRC towards maintaining a cleaner and greener Uttar Pradesh. This machine will decompose the waste and will produce good quality organic compost which can be used in the Depot for the vegetation, plants and greenery for their optimal growth, “the Managing Director said while inaugurating its working.  

This fully automatic waste composting machine will be fed with the Depot canteen kitchen waste, depot garden waste and tobacco products collected from commuters while frisking them at Metro stations. In turn, the machine will give good quality of organic compost after eight days of decomposition cycle.

Automatic waste composting machine works on the principle of anaerobic respiration. Small microorganism decomposes the waste into smaller fragments under optimum temperature and moisture conditions. Continuous mixing of waste happens inside the machine, which gives good quality of organic compost after its eight day decomposition period.

The Transport Nagar Metro Depot houses a variety of plants and trees. Large quantity of dry leaf waste gets accumulated inside the Depot on a regular basis. These will now be fed into the machine to get compost out of it. Similarly, Depot canteen also generates a good amount of kitchen waste which be added to this compost machine. Different waste streams can now be targeted for composting them in an efficient, economical and eco-friendly manner inside the Depot.

Kochi Metro | KMRL the most popular initiatives among the masses ,due to its free services and public participation in all possible ways.

Kochi: The Kochi Metro in Kerala that opened earlier this year has been one of the most popular initiatives among the masses, due to its free services and public participation in all possible ways.Given how popular the Kochi Metro is among the public, it was natural for them to ask people to name their new pet.metro kochi 1On Thursday, the Kochi subway announced the contest on its official Facebook page and asked people to comment on their choice of names.In the contest, they wanted a creative name and not something cliché like ‘appu’, ‘kuttan’, ‘thoppi’.The suggestion will be preselected with a maximum number of likes, according to which the KMRL officials will finalize the name and the winner.Big mistakeEverything went well for the Metro Kochi until the trolls decided to get involved and someone commented ‘Kummanana’ and all hell broke loose.As of now, Kummanan has more than 32k “like” and is the most popular name for miles, which leaves officials in a bind: they simply can not name the little elephant as Kummanana.This is because the name is derived from Kummanam, also known as Kummanam Rajasekharan, the president of the state of Kerala BJP.No, the name did not come from the love of Malayalees fir the leader of the BJP, but it was another form of trolling, something for which the people of the southern state is famous.Kummanam Rajasekharan has been the favorite punching bag of the trolls for some time.In June, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Kochi Metro, and traveled on the first subway trip, Mummanam was seen riding with him, even though the latter was not even an elective public office.This serious lapse occurred even when two former state ministers who were instrumental in starting and building the subway could not enter, citing the security protocol.Angry Malayalees flooded the Internet with Kummanam trolls who rewarded him with the unique record of being the first person to travel without a ticket on the Kochi Metro.

The trolls were such a massive success that now the word ‘Kummanadi’ has entered the popular lexicon of Malayalees.According to the Urban Dictionary, ‘Kummanadi’ refers to ‘traveling without a ticket on a public transport system, and blocking unsolicited events.Under the circumstances, Metro Kochi has now changed the rules of the game and added that entries that defame any personality or insinuate against any person are not encouraged and will not be considered for selection.And the trolls are not in the mood to let it go. Now they are trend hashtags like #JusticeForKummanan and #StandWithKummanana.

Companies must send their proposals to the general manager of Chennai Metro Rail Ltd within three weeks. According to the sources, the first phase of the project is likely to begin at Avinashi Road. As an overflight on the Avinashi road was also proposed, the city’s architects said the subway was not feasible. “The acquisition of land and the availability of land is a major problem for the successful implementation of the project,” said one architect.The city’s industrialists had asked the government to implement a massive rapid transit system in 2007. Later, in 2013, E Sreedharan, popularly known as “metro man”, had come to the city invited by the Confederation of Indian Industries and I had prepared a report after inspecting the main locations. He had stated that the traffic problems of the city could only be solved by a metro and railroad project. The report was then presented to the state government, which later became interested in a monorail project.
