Congested metro stations to be reworked on
The congested Metro stations are soon going to make way for well-planned spaces that allow for smooth integration between vehicular, pedestrian and metro traffic. Years after the city government proposed converting Delhi Metro stations into multimodal spaces, the lieutenant governor on Thursday gave the go-ahead for turning 11 such Metro stations into integrated transport hubs.
According to this plan, skywalks and arcades will be built in and around one existing and 10 upcoming Metro stations to permit seamless travel and to decongest the routes around these stations under a new plan for inter-modal transport.
The objective is seamless transition and interchanges between different modes to complete the trip and availability of options to select different modes to make travel cheaper, faster and more comfortable an official from the LG office said.
The congested metro stations will be redone in order to deal with the problem with a bigger crowd. However it has not been stated as when the work will be starting from. The authorities however might go on a discussion regarding what has to be done to deal with this problem.
