Sleeper Berths in Indian Trains


 









There is an unresolved problem in the Indian Railway compartments where in accessing or climbing the middle or upper berth is an exercise for older people and expectant mothers or women with a child. In the booking process there are options for selecting a lower berth preferentially however with the numbers who travel by train those of all who need do not manage to get lower berths. 
This is a concept to persuade the able to offer lower berth. This was conceived by me and my designer friend Niana who created the design.

Lower Berth No. Plate
Communication  graphic with a 'namaste' sign requesting people to offer lower berth to the aged and women with baby. This design can be implemented with out any structural changes in the existing system. This communication can also extend across the train and platforms as a reminder.
