I recently used the violet line of the Delhi Metro twice. I changed from the Yellow line at the Central Secretariat and noticed these cute footprints. For a direction challenged person (in more ways than one maybe) like me they make perfect sense. Don’t think, just follow the footprints and viola you are at the correct platform. I often change at Rajiv Chowk too but somehow I have not noticed the footprints there. I am wondering if I missed them somehow?
But I wonder what is it with violet line, it is the busiest metro route at any time of the day I have ever encountered. One panic and there could be a stampede, the crowds were so much. Even in the ladies only coach as well.
And I finally bought a smart card for the metro after I came to know that whatever money you put in is valid for one year. It was a great decision, no more token queues for me which can be really long and not really a queue at many places.
this should be useful to a person like me!!! and the smart card is a wonderful idea! we had these on our locals too, but apparently, people didnt know how to use the validating machines properly and spoilt them, so they arent supplying the cards anymore!
Let me tell you one thing here…Violet line is not busiest….its damn yellow line from gurgaon to jehangir puri…and its really a hell at rajeev chowk and central sec. where the interchange happens…if you aint smart u ll end up where you don’t wanna go..
thats a cute way to show the direction 🙂
we in bangalore are still waiting for the metro to start running!
Nice idea. But haven’t seen this in real.
