In order to ensure more convenience to commuters and maintain uniformity among all the Metro stations across the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) network, the first coach in the moving direction of the train will be the “Woman Only” w.e.f. 1st January 2019 on all lines except Line-1 (Red Line) where it will be introduced once it is extended up to Ghaziabad, said an official statement of the corporation.
Till now, the first and the last coach at the terminal stations of Line 1(Red Line-Dilshad Garden to Rithala), Line 5 (Green Line- Inderlok/Kirti Nagar to Brig. Hoshiar Singh), Line 6 (Violet Line- Kashmere Gate to Raja Nahar Singh), Line 7(Pink Line- Majlis Park to Mayur Vihar Pkt-1 and Trilokpuri-Sanjay Lake to Shiv Vihar) and Line 8 (Magenta Line- Botanical Garden to Janakpuri West)) were alternately used as "Ladies Coach" in the up and down lines, respectively.
Necessary announcements in the trains and stations regarding this will be made to ensure a smooth transition to the new arrangement.
Also, the floor graphics and the 'Women Only' hanging signages are being removed and fixed at all the stations of these lines.
On rest of the corridors (Line 2 and Line-3/4), the first coach on both up and directions was already used as the ‘Women Only’ coach and will continue to remain so.
