It just takes 19 minutes for a metro rail to chug from Koyambedu to Alandur, a 10km distance that takes motorists more than an hour in peak traffic. The trains will also be safe for women.The four-car trains will include security features unheard of on suburban or MRTS trains. Every passenger will be under watch by the driver and personnel at a control centre at Koyambedu.
Each train will have a dedicated space for women next to the ‘special class’— the equivalent of first class on suburban trains. Two-thirds of the driver motor car will be for women. Passengers in trouble can talk to the driver on emergency intercom. The driver will locate the passenger automatically using 16 CCTV cameras.
