Title - Interiors will be aesthetically pleasing, spacious

CHANDIGARH: Chandigarh Metro's interiors will be aesthetically pleasing with state-of-the-art technology as well as spacious for comfortable travelling. The new-age features being included in phase III of Delhi Metro will be incorporated for the benefit of commuters, especially standees."The gangways are designed to give a wider, comfortable standing space during peak hours along with easy and faster passenger movement, especially in case of an emergency," reads the detailed project report prepared by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)."Passenger capacity is maximized in a Metro system by providing longitudinal seats and utilizing the remaining space for standing passengers. Therefore, all the equipment are mounted on the under frame for maximum space utilization," it adds. | For swift evacuation of passengers, four doors of adequate width will be provided on each side of the coach. These doors will be of such dimension and location that all passengers inside the train are able to evacuate within least possible time without conflicting movements.As the Metro trains will take a ramp to come on elevated sections, automatic door closing mechanism has been planned for passenger safety. The door will be bi-parting sliding type as in the existing DMRC coaches.For phase III of Delhi Metro, DMRC has decided to add new features to make the interiors of the tube look smarter. It will have dynamic route maps based on LED technology, LED-based display panels and grab handles for standing passengers.

Provision for escalators will be made at entrances from both sides of the platform. Initially, tickets will be issued manually. But at a later stage, automatic ticketing will be provided for which space provision has been made in the plan.
