12. Suggestions DMRC can increase their revenue by providing more facilities like Shopping malls at the metro station, ATM etc. Number of commuters drastically increases at weekend, holidays, office time, festival and summer. So DMRC should increase number of cars, to decrease the number of people at station. At peak hours people have to wait for entry at station due to single check-up system. DMRC should add more security checkup booth for convenience of commuters. Few metro station like Rajiv Chauk, New Delhi, Central Secretariat and Kasmeeri Gate have more rush, so some people try to thief of wallet and jewelries. DMRC use CCTV Camera to catch up those thefts on the spot. DMRC should appoint permanent inspection engineer for sight to avoided accident and quality control.
