Taking a ride on metro; a word or two on central sectt. station
While taking a ride on a metro on a sunday came across a student flipping through the pages of a newspaper. The paper is strong in the South with few readers who could be spotted wishing to read while travelling. As she flipped through the pages, perhaps the Sunday section was what she was going through and i noticing the same when i was almost through the metro ride clue. Being Sunday the central delhi least resembled a choc a bloc rally and all those who were there perhaps made up of those who do not visit during weekdays.
It was one among different rides on a metro which witnesses a surge quite unbelievable during week days, with the Connaught Place station setting off a picture of challenge on where you exit and from where you enter in a metro. Interchange leads to the surge with every passing hour bringing in a new challenge.
The Central Sectt. station is handy as it provides interchange facility. But to watch out for the trains going towards Badarpur. First the platform is not that wide, the collection getting insurmountable with the wait for the train and there is apprehension that some may get closer to the tracks as there is no attempt to stop them on above floor before they make an attempt to go to the basement. The crowd should be stopped on the above floor as the surge downstairs gets unmanageable leading to a wild push here and there. And there are apprehensions that some may get on to the tracks as the train is about to enter. Once the surge downstairs gets trimmed, you can let pass passengers who have collected on above floor. Trains are handy; the need is to control the collection of crowd on a platform as there is only one which is used for arrival and departure.
Besides metro ride it were the sizeable rides on buses that brought forward the busy schedule of university students. A student hailing from Manipur had boarded the bus with the revealation she was pursuing English (H) from a college in South Campus. Perhaps staying in Munirka, the student had well acclimatised herself to national capital surroundings which has had its share of museums and antics.
As for future metro constructions, a strong foundation and even going beyond time limit should be exercised. A strong foundation would come handy.
