Commuters using both suburban trains in the BeachTambaram and MRTS sections are a worried lot these days, as they have to park their two-wheelers in open and often unmonitored parking lots at the railway stations.
As railways failed to renew the contracts of many of these parking lots, there are no workers to collect parking fee and to keep an eye on the vehicles. As a result, many vehicles get stolen or fuel and components are pilfered.
