Will a new plan to have access-controlled parking at railway stations on the lines of the airport work? The Central Railway, for the first time, has outlined details and begun the airport-type access control parking at Kurla LTT to start with, for three years. The station has been chosen due to availability of open space. Access control parking will ensure that only vehicle owners/drivers who have paid for parking, can enter the premises.

"The provision of unique smart parking-cum-access control rights unified system at overcrowded stations like LTT in the Mumbai division, will provide flexibility to passengers in terms of pick up and drop facility, as well as vehicle parking at the station," said Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar.
