Passengers waiting to board their trains at the Mumbai Central railway station would soon be able to do so while enjoying the comforts of state-of-the-art sleeping pods at affordable rates.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is expected to start the service, which allows passengers to avail a bed and other facilities in the capsule-shaped sleeping pods on an hourly basis, within the next two weeks.
With origins in Japan, sleeping pods are a popular feature of international tourism, allowing travellers to find accommodation at rates far cheaper than conventional hotels.
