Each provides 12 services
The first eight of the 16 rakes of the new Bombardier make trains are expected to arrive in the city by April, after the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) ordered for them in February itself.
The Asian Age on February 25 was the first to publish that the MRVC had ordered these 16 rakes after the safety procedure were completed. Officials said they had timed the ordering of the new rakes such that no time would be lost in waiting for the safety go-ahead from Delhi before they physically arrived in the city. An official on the condition of anonymity said, “We will get the two rakes this month and hope that as we have given the order, around eight trains will arrive in April itself.”
Union railway minister in a closed door meeting with the railway officials in Delhi has given his nod. “We have been told that Mumbaikars will not travel in the same old badly ventilated trains this summer. We hope the minister fulfils his promise.” One rake is able to provide 12 services each.
Rake is a software task management and build automation tool. It allows you to specify tasks and describe dependencies as well as to group tasks in a namespace.
Rake uses Ruby's anonymous function blocks to define various tasks, allowing the use of Ruby syntax. It has a library of common tasks: for example, functions to do common file-manipulation tasks and a library to remove compiled files (the "clean" task). Like Make, Rake can also synthesize tasks based on patterns: for example, automatically building a file compilation task based on filename patterns. Rake is now part of the standard library from Ruby version 1.9 onward.
