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.

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: The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) is inviting emerging businesses to set up offices within five of its stations, following the success of a so-called Rsmakerspace’, Workbench Projects, that opened at the Halasuru station in February 2015.

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd currently has 31 stations operational along 18 km from Baiyappanahalli to Mysuru Road and along 13 km from Nagasandra to Sampige Road.

“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.
