BENGALURU: A frequent sight at Metro stations is that of able-bodied commuters dashing and crowding lifts despite the boards outside them specifying they are meant for senior citizens, disabled and pregnant women. With the five underground Metro stations of Phase-I not having baggage or body scanners at the entries leading to the lifts, the Karnataka State Industrial Security Force (KSISF) manning these stations has initiated a system wherein tokens are provided by those who do not fall under these categories.
They are presently operational at Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha, Sir M Visvesvaraya, KSR railway Metro station and Kempe gowda Metro stations.
