Dear Srinivas , While I understand the frustration regarding commercial advertisements, they have become a standard feature of public infrastructure, including railway stations and digital platforms, as a means to generate revenue. These messages are often unavoidable in public spaces.
Regarding the challenges of identifying coach positions and train timings, here are some practical strategies that may assist you: Suggested Strategies: In many stations, train coach positions remain consistent. Familiarizing yourself with these standard locations can help reduce reliance on real-time announcements. Aiming to arrive at the station at least an hour before departure provides a buffer to seek assistance from station staff or security personnel, who are generally available to guide passengers with disabilities. Consider using third-party applications like "Where is My Train." These apps are often optimized for screen readers and provide real-time updates on coach positions, platform numbers, and live train status, which can be more reliable than station-wide audio announcements. Do not hesitate to contact the station master's office or the help desk upon arrival. Railway staff are mandated to provide assistance to passengers with visual impairments, including verbal confirmation of platform changes or coach locations. It is important to remember that while technology and infrastructure have their limitations, leveraging a combination of digital tools and on-ground human support remains the most effective way to navigate travel independently.
