Here's all you need to know before you board the train today:
1. Magenta Line is will be the first unmanned metro line, though it will run under human surveillance for the initial few days.
2. The metro is made suicide proof with gates on the platform that will prevent anyone from falling on the track.
3. The train that runs through a stretch of 12.64 km will reduce the distance travel time from 52 minutes to 19 minutes.
4. Lighting controls by occupancy sensors (for guarded rooms) have been built and solar plants of 908 kWp installed at nine stations.
5. A visible addition is the public safety net created at stations. A glass wall and screen gates have been built to ensure passengers do not fall on tracks as the train arrives. The glass gate opens only when the train comes to a halt and coach doors open.
