KMRL could rely on CBTC system, says public transport expert
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating India’s first driverless train operation in Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line on Monday, there is demand that Kochi metro too go for driverless operations.
“Kochi metro was the first in the country to roll out Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system, which enables driverless train operations. Lahore Metro in Pakistan is yet another metro rail system which opted for driverless operations. In this circumstance, technical and safety measures must be vetted, if need be by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) after the systems are readied and trial runs are done,” said Ebenser Chullikat, public transport enthusiast.

New Delhi, Dec 10 (IANS): With Prime Minister Narendra Modi laying the foundation stone of new Parliament building here on Thursday, the Congress flayed the move as playing DJ music in a funeral ground and claimed that various institutions were getting devalued . The decision to lay the foundation stone of the new building is heartless, senseless and shameless, at a time when the nation is going through economic recession. The BJP instead of giving concession is taking out extravagant procession, remarked Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill. This act is equivalent to playing DJ music inside a funeral ground. On one hand, the BJP through black farm laws has run a bulldozer over farmers livelihood and on the other it is spending public money on constructing buildings that are not needed but merely to satisfy its ego, he added.
