PASSENGER AMENITIES AT DELHI RAILWAY STATIONS


LOK SABHA

The proposals for development of passenger amenities at Delhi Main Station (Old Delhi), New Delhi Station and Hazrat Nizamuddin Station are in various stages of implementation.

Pre-paid taxi and auto-rickshaw services at these stations are run by Delhi Traffic Police. Pre-paid scheme for auto-rickshaw is available at all these stations. However, as a result of a court case in Delhi High Court between Taxi Operator Association and Delhi Traffic Police, taxi operators stopped coming to pre-paid booth at these railway stations. However, ‘rent-a-car’ system is functional at Ajmeri Gate side of New Delhi Station.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Basanagouda R. Patil in a written reply to a question from Shri Anantha Nayak in the Lok Sabha today.
