Metro joining Dwarka with Anand Vihar

It refers to extension of metro-rail service by DMRC from Dwarka to now Anand Vihar. Already metro-services have witnessed extra-ordinary and unmanageable rush on extended routes like Kendriya Sacvhivalaya-Jahangirpuri where extra-ordinary crowd with queues of waiting-passengers spreading even outside station-premises during peak-hours can now be seen.

Instead of increasing more routes, DMRC should utilise new coaches first to ease traffic on existing routes. With same running-cost, revenue earned by DMRC can be increased appreciably by doubling number of coaches to eight in each of the metro-rack presently having just four coaches. Metro-rail is losing utility with many persons opting out because of passengers dumped in jam-packed coaches.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) should reserve one coach for ladies in each of metro-train. It is extremely torturous for ladies to use jam-packed metro-service especially in peak hours. Rather ladies-special can also be run on select busy routes on experimental basis.
