While the railways warn commuters against crossing the tracks, this very danger becomes the default option for countless commuters at Kopar station. A new foot overbridge (FOB) has been recently constructed at the Diva end of Kopar station, and platform extension work is underway to accommodate 15-coach train services on platforms 1A and 2.

However, the newly built staircase of the FOB has become an obstacle to the extension work, as it currently restricts the full length required for 15-coach trains. Because of this, passengers who alight at the Diva end — especially those heading towards the east and west sides — are facing serious inconvenience.
