Good news for the smartphone
users residing in Delhi province as Delhi Metro authority, DMRC are soon
planning out to rocket about a progressive smartphone app which will carve out
a new stone in the modern history of amenities and facilities in India.
This smart app will be providing a
means for the commuters to get information related to metro stations, the train
fares between those stations, arrival as well as departure time for the trains.
Several other goodies the smart
app will be capable to offer are like the nearest metro station, the timing of
the first and the last train from and to its home station, the journey duration
among various stations, the metro route information, the most significant metro
map covering the whole metro operating network in graphical representation.
Users will be able to zoom in and out through this map to locate his current
position on the route map. More features include the information regarding new
stations in their adolescent stage.
The feature that will definitely
put a smile on people’s face is that this app is expected to operate even
without accessing the internet i.e. in the offline mode and will be available
with a single download totally free of cost. Users will be allowed to install a
latest version of the smart app and keep going with their work. More to add are
the features like looking up for some landmarks and tourist spots in the
vicinity of the metro stations.
Considering the gruesome and lamentable
anti-social activities occurring in the suburbs of Delhi, the authority has
sorted out a feature for providing helpline numbers for security threats,
suggestions, in case of emergency and feedback.
Modern era phones may be supplied
with services to determine the current location of the user with the help of
GPS huntsman. This service will help in finding correct route from source to
destination without any hassle. Detecting the metro feeder buses to the desired
metro station would even be of much help for the minute group of people with
less knowledge of the metro approach, who still like boarding common means of
transport.
Keeping in mind the current trend
of socializing this app can be used for answering user-asked questions based
on daily stuffs like the procedure to use this app or ATM etc.
The app will also provide the
commuters with generic information guidelines and safety precautions to abide
by while boarding a metro.
The tender in relevance to this
application is expected to be submitted by DMRC at the end of this March,
approximately on 28th.
But for the app to be more
fruitful, this needs to get installed all over India within the cities laden
with metro tracks. This perhaps will also attract more number of passengers to
board a metro, hence more business. It’s certainly a matter of appreciation and
delight for the authority behind this huge step. It’s sporadically a matter of
days when this smart app steps down the market.
