Ahmedabad: The Railway Protection Force (RPF) has started Segway, the two-wheeled, self-balancing, personal transporter that has become a rage in the West at the Ahmedabad Railway Station. Officers of the RPF could be seen cruising on the railway platforms at a speed of 8-10 km per hour on the Segways, which help them in better crowd control and patrolling at the railway station in Kalupur.

Gracious Fernandes, Inspector of the RPF, Ahmedabad, said, "The railway platform here stretches up to 800 metre and the Segway helps reach the different corners faster to help people. The battery operated Segways come handy in reaching and controlling the crowd at the station quickly as well as for overall patrolling."
