Minister of State for Railways, Coal & Mines Shri @raosahebdanve inaugurates the state-of-the-art 'POD' concept Retiring Room at Mumbai Central station.Passengers can avail all modern facilities at comparatively cheaper rates at these Pod concept rooms.@RailMinIndiapic.twitter.com/c9ui1t98E1 This looks super cool on photos. However, I am not sure how hyegenic option this would be at this time, considering normal Indian railway commuters are known for misusing priviledges (e. g. As seen in inaugural run of Tejas). well this is how Ahmedabad retiring room looks like... i hope this ones are well maintained @RailwaySeva@WesternRly@rajtodayhttps://t.co/73Yyzg0Fev
A pod hotel, also known as a capsule hotel, has a number of small rooms or "pods" that contain a single bed each. These hotels were first started in Japan to provide cost-friendly yet comfortable accommodation to travellers, and have seen an increase in popularity in India of late. Urbanpod was one of the first boutique pod hotels to open in India.
Photos shared by the Ministry of Railways show that the Urbanpod hotel at Mumbai Central station in Maharashtra features a row of pod rooms which travellers can book for short stays.
The swanky new pod rooms at Mumbai Central have been done up in muted shades of beige, brown and white. The pods come with a single bed, a mirror and a personal safe, among other amenities.
