The Mumbai division of Central Railway (CR) is planning to refurbish and upgrade old and discarded electric motor buggies at the stations to be used for railway hospitals. The battery-operated carts (BOC) at present facilitate passengers using mail express trains and ferry senior citizens and physically handicapped people at stations.

A buggy, which cost around Rs 4.5 lakh, can transport four people with small luggage to the platform. These carts operate at major stations such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Dadar and Kurla LTT Terminus.
