Delhi Metro – Teaching a Lesson

Delhi Metro is the one name that’s being praised everywhere. Be it the government bodies or the private organizations, everyone wants to know how the Delhi metro project is being conducted.

Keeping aside this, there are more aspects one can look into and learn from Delhi Metro. In its new avatar, the metro is teaching the Delhiites, basic ethics.One thing the travelers must have observed is how the people behave while boarding the train. As the train approaches the platform, people in their quest to grab a seat, gather around the gate of the train. This leaves no space for the passengers deborading the train. What follows is a chaotic situation, in which passengers on board try to make their way out. This creates a very embarrassing situation and brings about a shameful display of mankind (hey, m not too harsh) n this all despite repeated instruction/advice by the metro officials. To circumvent this situation, Delhi metro has recently posted its employees on the platforms of Kashmiri gate and Rajiv Chowk (the two busiest stations). The job of these employees is to make sure that the passengers stand in line before the train arrives. These officials make sure that the passenger can deboard the train easily without any hassle and then other passengers board the train. Despite this, the passengers break the line and force themselves in the train making the situation troublesome for the metro official stationed there.

The initaitve taken up by the metro is commendable, but could be successful, only if we the passenges , cooperate.Hope the persons concerned are listening!!!!!!!!
