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.
