New Parking Rules at New Delhi Railway Station
Imagine a new rule at the New Delhi train station: you get 8 minutes of free parking to drop someone off!
If you stay a bit longer, it'll cost a small fee.
This is to stop traffic jams from long waiting cars.
You pay when you leave.
Only cars dropping people off can go to the station, not those picking up.
This should make it easier to get around.
Free parking is available for the first 8 minutes at New Delhi Railway Station's Ajmeri Gate side.
Vehicles staying 8-15 minutes will be charged Rs 50.
Stays exceeding 15 minutes will incur a Rs 200 fee.
The new system aims to reduce traffic congestion at the station.
Only vehicles dropping off passengers are allowed in the main station premises.
