Smoother interchange between Dwarka Sec 21 and airport line (HT)

NEW DELHI: To help increase ridership on airport line of Delhi metro, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has now allowed passengers coming from Dwarka to go to the airport line without coming out of the station.

Earlier, passengers had to come out of the Dwarka Sector 21 station to go to the airport line stop.

But the passengers will have to go through the security check again as the standards of frisking on airport express line are different from the remaining network of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). “Considering the time taken during interchange, it was decided to allow passengers to go straight to airport line. Mostly the passengers travelling between Dwarka and Central Delhi use airport line to reach their destinations quickly. We had noticed that due to the long walk for interchange, passengers tend to avoid taking airport metro. But by shifting the current structure, we hope to attract more passengers on the airport line,” said a senior CISF official, requesting anonymity.

But the changes have been made without compromising with the security and passengers will be frisked again when they enter the premises of New Delhi-Dwarka line. “At the airport express line, we follow the guidelines of Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and the security procedure is almost comparable to the standards of those applicable at the airport. So, the passengers coming from Dwarka line will have to go through the security drill again,” the official added.

CISF had earlier allowed the passengers to go to Dwarka line from airport line by creating space at the station.

DMRC should now put up Awarness Advt across Dwarka main roads and other Metro stations.

Mainly it should say..

Dwarka to Dhaula Kuan-Shivaji Stadium/New Delhi in XX Minutes by Metro at Comfort/Security without jam and Economical Compare with Huge Jam/Waste of Time and Money on Road- Most importantly help the Environment.

The DMRC should do some marketing make it more attractive.  I am sure more commuters will join DMRC Airport Metro.

Also the ceiling on the Card must be removed or to be extended to 3/6/12 months instead of 30 days validity.. Even small denomination of Calling Cards or Recharge coupon of Telecom Companies and DTH have longer validity. Even DMRC normal metro have 1 year validity on the card value.

Hope they will consider these suggestions.
