MUMBAI: CST will soon get a 100-bed air-conditioned dormitory.

"Nearly 50% of the beds will be reserved for women passengers," said a Central Railway (CR) official.

"The dormitory will be boon for long distance and suburban passengers. For example, if a person has missed his last train, the passengers can book a dormitory to avoid fleecing by cabbies, who charge exorbitant fare during the night," he added.

CR has already opened similar facilities with locker facilities at Thane and Kalyan stations.

The dormitory will also benefit long-distance passengers, who visit the city for a short period.
