The Metro then explained that the small vehicle is called draisine and it's used t o transport employees working on the network at night.
Although the function of the draisine is now widely known, it is essential for the proper working of the metro system.

explained that the vehicle was created in Europe, which is used to transport small tools and workers who give maintenance to the railways . “Currently the metro has 16.”
After midnight, when the metro is no longer providing service to the public , the draisine comes into action along with the maintenance personnel . The small vehicle uses diesel in order to speed the work and provide safety for the workers.
