Need to board a morning train but don't want to risk traffic on the way to the station? Indian Railways has an answer for you.
The Railways has introduced the new pod model to provide comfortable accommodation to travellers at affordable rates.
The first pod waiting room has come up on the first floor of Mumbai Central with 48 rooms in the offing. These include classic pods, private pods and "ladies-only" pods and pods for the differently-abled.
A pod hotel, also called a capsule hotel, has small rooms with a bed each. The model originated in Japan and has gradually gained popularity for providing a compact accommodation solution to travellers who do not want to rent a hotel just to stay the night or to sleep off the exhaustion of a short business trip.
