Are you a frequent traveller on Bombay’s local trains? For the benefit of the passengers, technology will be given to help them track the LIVE location of the local trains. Mumbaikars will be able to track the local starting today, July 13. Passengers can do the same through the Yatri App which will allow them to see the location of the local trains in real-time. Presently, this facility will be available only for the users of the Central Line.
