TRANSCRIPT
Making the metro ride comfortable by providing relevant information that would allow a hassle free journey.
Primary research conducted in Delhi Metro in September 2013. Talking to the travellers was a revelation.
“..you never know when or where you’ll get a seat..” “..preparing myself to be lightning fast to grab a seat when a train is about to arrive..”
“..so if I ever get a seat, then its a great day for me & it makes me euphoric..” “..sometimes I don’t understand how many coaches the coming metro will have.”
Results of survey in secondary research phase revealed 73% people claiming they would have a better travelling experience with lesser crowded trains.

At the first level, there will be coach wise traffic density information provided inside the train for the travellers.
At the second level, coach wise traffic density will be displayed on the platforms for the waiting passengers to help them decide which coach to board.
The interactive display to exhibit redesign of already existing high intensity LED boards on the platforms, was simulated on an android device. It responded for two coaches as per the model, rest were extrapolated.
