Commuters seek more coaches in Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi MEMU train
Commuters in the Tamil Nadu delta region are requesting that Southern Railway increase the number of coaches on the Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi MEMU train. High occupancy rates have made travel difficult for passengers boarding at intermediate stations.
Why it matters
Public transportation infrastructure is critical for regional economic mobility and the daily lives of thousands of commuters.
Commuters in the delta region have sought additional coaches in the Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi-Mayiladuthurai MEMU Express (16833/16834) that runs via Thanjavur and Kumbakonam. The daily express train runs with eight MEMU cars. The number of cars should be increased to 12 in view of the high occupancy, they say.
