In an extensive report, this newspaper shed light on the existence of redundant railway foot overbridges (FOBs) across the city and provided solutions to ensure that these structures are used for what they were made — walking.

This edit space has urged Railways to consider constructing FOBs at certain spots and repair them in double quick time if needed.

We have also advocated the usage of FOBs, telling pedestrians that these are the ‘safe spaces’ within the tumultuous and frantic crush of a railway station and urging them to be wise enough to use them, rather than be foolhardy and try to cross tracks.
