sushil | Visionary hyperloop transportation could make traffic jams history in India on : August 15, 2013 - 15:57:27 PM |
Elon Musk may have some outrageous ideas. Then again, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of SpaceX has cynics and doubters for breakfast. That's why when he recently unveiled his vision for the future of mass rapid transportation, everyone sat up and took note. Dubbing his design Hyperloop Alpha, Musk's revolutionary transport system looks like something right out of an Isaac Asimov novel. The futuristic Hyperloop would drastically cut travelling time by reaching speeds of 800 mph and evading traffic snarls, giving you just about enough time to finish your morning paper on board.Though this sounds too good to be true, Musk's design isn't all hot air. In Musk's own words Hyperloop is a cross between a Concorde, a rail gun and air hockey, and involves elevated tubes that would carry passenger capsules gliding on air with the help of a jet propulsion system. Which begs the question: Could Hyperloop one day change the face of transportation in India? |

After changing the location of the ladies coach on trains running on the Violet Line, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is now planning a similar exercise on the Mundka- Inderlok/Kirtinagar (Line-5) to facilitate boarding and alighting of women passengers. Starting Thursday, women passengers using metro trains from Inderlok/Kirti Nagar towards Mundka will find the ladies coach at the end of the train. However, those travelling the other way will continue to find the first coach reserved for women. |
