NEW DELHI: As it completes 18 years of operations on December 25, the Delhi Metro is likely to embark on a new journey a driverless one.
According to sources, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is planning to switch to driverless train operation (DTO) on the Magenta (Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West) Line from December 25 and efforts are being made to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to flag off the country’s first ‘driverless’ Metro operations.
DMRC has already carried out trial runs in driverless mode in non-revenue hours and has also got its signalling system reviewed by experts for eventual implementation of unattended train operations. A basic audit was done around two years ago by SMRT Corporation, a leading multi-modal public transport operator in Singapore and feedback was ‘positive’, according to sources.
