Western Railway’s local trains are getting digital destination displays on the sidewalls of motor coaches to improve passenger convenience. Commuters have welcomed the move but stressed the need for proper upkeep.

“The existing passenger information system does not have displays on the sidewalls of local trains to inform waiting passengers about train details. Taking a step further, the Mumbai Central carshed of Western Railway’s Mumbai division has pioneered the installation of external panorama digital displays on the sidewalls of motor coaches. This innovative feature allows passengers to easily identify train services, making travel on the Mumbai Suburban network more convenient and informed,” said Western Railway Chief Public Relations officer Vineet Abhishek.
