Currently, Metro services operate on the electronic interlocking (EI) signalling system, which will be upgraded to the communication-based train control (CBTC) system. This upgrade will enable trains to run automatically, officials said.
The CBTC system is being implemented in both the purple and New Garia-VIP Bazar (orange) corridors along E M Bypass.
