The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and Dadar railway stations will soon have battery-operated cars for the differently-abled, patients and senior citizens. In 2016, the railway board had issued directives to all the zonal railways to provide battery-operated cars at major stations. “Battery-operated cars are a must at the CSMT because many passengers also come for treatment at hospitals in South Mumbai. “The commuters had pointed out that the battery-operated cars earlier were not in proper condition and most of the times were not available. This is why we decided to go ahead and float tenders regarding the battery-operated cars.” said a Central Railway official.
