From 15th August 2013 onwards, all Metro trains on Line 5 will be having reserved ladies coach as per the following norm: -

1. Lady passengers boarding Metro trains from Inderlok/Kirti Nagar towards Mundka are advised that the last coach will be the ladies coach.

2. Lady passengers travelling from Mundka towards Inderlok/Kirti Nagar should note that first coach will continue to be the reserved coach for ladies as before.

3. For this, announcements will be made inside the trains running on this route and also at stations and guards will be deployed at platforms of this line to guide the passengers for initial period.

4. This step is being taken to ensure ‘Ladies in and Ladies out’ from the same coach and to avoid inconvenience to women passengers who had to, otherwise face difficulties in de-boarding at interchange stations of Inderlok and Kirti Nagar.

5. In addition, DMRC will make all required arrangements for Metro passengers to ensure smooth transition of this new arrangement including proper positioning of the ladies coach at the station platform etc.

6. DMRC has already implemented the same mechanism on Line-6 (Central Secretariat – Badarpur) from 16th February 2013 and the experiment has been very well appreciated by women commuters.

7. The provision of First Coach of every train reserved as ‘Ladies only coach’ will remain unchanged on rest of the lines of the Delhi Metro i.e, Line-1, 2, 3 and 4.
