Women Enjoying Driverless Delhi Metro Rides: 'Selfies, Kids'
Women riding the Delhi Metro are now getting a unique experience on driverless trains.
Since the driver's cabin is gone from the first coach, they have a clear view ahead, and some are taking selfies or letting kids enjoy the front.
This setup is available on the Magenta and Pink lines.
These driverless trains started in 2020 and are now fully automatic.
They include features like better lighting, more space, and real-time track monitoring to make rides safer and more comfortable.
Driverless Delhi Metro trains on the Magenta and Pink lines offer women an unobstructed view.
The first coach is reserved for women, who take selfies and allow children to stand where the driver's cabin was.
Driverless trains began on the Magenta Line in December 2020, connecting Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden.
The Pink Line, running from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar, adopted the technology in November 2021.
Driverless trains have features like real-time track monitoring and digital route maps to enhance safety and comfort.
