Advance booking for battery-run car

The aged and those unable to walk from the vehicle to the train on the platform or after getting down from the train up to the public transport outside the Vijayawada platform now have the option of using the battery operated-car run by Agrigold Haailand. It gets even better now with a telephone given to the car driver by Vijayawada Division of South Central Railway so that people could contact him and tell them their exact location for boarding.The Free Battery Car Service arranged for the convenience of physically challenged persons, pregnant women and the aged was inaugurated by the Divisional Railway Manager last month. The free battery car service has been very useful to the needy people who find it difficult to move on to the platforms where their Trains arrive/depart. “The facility of using the car is further advanced by introducing advance booking through mobile phone,” said a release here on Wednesday. Now, needy persons make a call to mobile No. 8985670130 and contact the car operator about their arrival time and services required for them.
