Nagpur Metro |Construction of 10 Metro rail stations to start in a week
Nagpur: The city’s metro rail project will gather more speed as Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRCL) awarding the contract to construct 10 railway stations to Infrastructure Leasing and Finance Services (ILFS). The work on the stations will begin within a week, Brijesh Dixit, managing director of NMRCL, said on Wednesday.Of the 10 stations, seven are elevated and three are at ground level. The stations are: Khapri and New Airport (both ground level), Airport, Ujjwal Nagar, Jaiprakash Nagar, Chhatrapati Nagar, Ajni Square, Rahate Colony and Congress Nagar (all elevated). In addition, a temporary station will be constructed between Khapri and New Airport stations, which will be used for the test run. “If need arises we can continue with this station. In any case we are going to use the space in front of this station for parking of private vehicles, buses and autorickshaws,” the MD said.Dixit further said that work on the stations will be done at a fast pace as NMRCL had handed over the designs to the contractor at the time of awarding the tender. “We provided them 181 designs. Usually, final designing is done after the contract is awarded. Another unique feature is that some part of the viaduct will be constructed along with the stations,” he added.Meanwhile, NMRCL has achieved another milestone by launching its first girder (horizontal portion) between New Airport and Khapri Metro Stations in the viaduct over the proposed Concor siding in Mihan. Over 80 girders of similar spans are ready in the casting yard, which will be launched shortly. “With the progressing launching of remaining girders, track linking work will be started. Eighteen horizontal segments, to be used in the Airport to Sitabuldi stretch, are ready and will be launched from mid-August,” Dixit further said.In another major development, NMRCL has changed the design of Wardha Road flyover for the convenience of motorists. The earlier design was made by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Earlier, motorists using the flyover and coming from Manish Nagar side would have to go up to the Airport entrance and take a U-turn for going toward Ajni Square. The new decision will allow motorists to travel in both directions without any detour.Mahesh Kumar, NMRCL director (projects), told TOI, “We will build a 200 metre long tunnel below the railway line. The 20 metre wide tunnel will reach ground level near a park. A loop will connect the road to the flyover. There will be on both sides of the railway line. This design has been approved by the chief minister.”

Sources said there had been a delay in awarding the contract owing to issues related to cost.Last year, the Chennai Metro Rail work along Anna Salai came to halt as the contractors failed to complete the job.Hence, fresh tenders were floated twice to call for contractors to complete the remaining work.Sources said that there were no other bidders except L&T and Afcons Infrastructure Limited. The work was divided into two parts — completing tunnelling and station construction from Government Estate to AG-DMS and AG-DMS to Saidapet, respectively.

Delhi Metro | DMRC plans to convert 50% AFC Exit Gates for Smart Cards users only
New Delhi: In order to facilitate the Smart Card carrying passengers who comprise about 70% of the daily Metro passengers, the Delhi Metro has decided to convert 50 percent of the existing ‘Automatic Fare Collection Gates (AFC) Exit Gates’ to ‘Card Only’ Exit Gates.At present, Delhi Metro has 1073 AFC Exit Gates across all Metro stations of the network. Of these, 500 ‘Exit Gates’ are being converted exclusively for the Smart Card users to be known as ‘Card Only’ AFC Exit Gates. The move is aimed at facilitating a smooth exit from the dedicated gates at a faster pace. The remaining AFC Exit Gates will remain functional for both the Smart Card and Token carrying passengers.These dedicated ‘Card Only’ exit gates will also help Token users as shifting of Card users to their dedicated exit gates would allow Token users more space/time to exit from remaining AFC(mixed-token+card) Exit Gates. Token handling at times by relatively new passengers leads to some minor error/delay in exit but this new arrangement would pave the way for a smooth exit for both types of commuters- Card as well as token users avoiding unnecessary delay/hassle in exit.   At present, 300 AFC Gates have already been converted into ‘Card Only’ AFC Exit Gates at Metro stations across all lines. Rest of the stations will be covered by the end of this month. Adequate signages are being placed at these gates to inform and facilitate the passengers.Presently, the Delhi Metro has 213 km of operational network with 160 stations which carries around 26 lakh commuters everyday across Delhi and NCR. Of these, around 18 lakh commuters use Metro Smart card every day.

Bangalore Metro | Ladies special compartment in Bangalore Metro Rail
Guess how many people travel by Metro Rail in Bangalore?The huge 1.5 lakh people! This is the average daily number of passengers being served by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) following the recent completion of the purple line, 18.2 km East-West Corridor that connects Baiyappanahalli Mysuru Road in the city .Judging by the statistics provided by Bangalore by the Minister K J George in the Legislature on Tuesday metro rail passengers has tripled in the past two months. Before extending the metro trains to Mysuru Road, the average daily passenger hovered around 55,000 passengers.The increase in passenger numbers has also led to complaints about trains to be packed, especially during holidays and weekends. Mahalakshmi Layout MLA K Gopalaiah noted that women had trouble finding a seat on trains and sought to know if BMRCL plans to ask the chairs for women in the trainers or coaches exclusively reserved for existing passenger women. In response, George said: “Each train has three coaches, and each coach has a capacity of 250 passengers has 43 seats in each coach though the journey time is short in the Metro trains we keep appealing to commuters to give seats for women.On coaches for women, George said: “We have plan  to increase the number of coaches in each train from three to six in the near future. We will examine the proposal to reserve a coach only for women and take action.”

Bangalore Metro | BMRC to invite startups to set up offices at its stations

“We have carved our spaces required for startups and ecommerce companies,” said Pradeep Singh Kharola, managing director of BMRCL.“It is not like Workbench Projects, which is renting out space (at the Halasuru metro station) on a monthly basis. These (startup) outlets will be proper offices.”To encourage startups to set shop at its stations, BMRCL is relaxing certain criteria for them, such as the one related to net worth.Startups can bid for 31 office spaces of 100 sqft to 4,000 sqft at the Byappanahalli, Swamy Vivek ananda Road, Indiranagar, Halasuru and Trinity metro stations.The rents range from Rs 35 per sqft to Rs 120 per sqft depending on the station, said UA Vasanth Rao, general manager, finance, BMRCL.Pavan Sheth, a systems engineer employed with Work Bench Projects, said several startups already frequent the makerspace as rents elsewhere are too high. “If they get space at a lesser price (at a metro station), a big problem is solved for them.”Shashank Somanna, partner at Holystoked skating institute, has been running classes at the Swamy Vivekananada Road metro station for the past nine months. “The rent is cheaper compared to other places and it is good to start with as many people pass through the metro station every day ,” he said.The tender document for selection of licensees of retail outlets will be available on BMRCL’s website from July 4 to July 26. The bid document can be purchased until July 26.The bids have to be submitted on August 11.(Source: ET)
