The Sayaji Garden in the city will likely get a new toy train by the end of this year with the standing committee of Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) finally clearing the proposal last week.
The civic body will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a private firm to run the train on public private partnership (PPP) model.
The present toy train in the garden is 50 years old and only children can take a ride on it. However, the new train will be like the Atal Express at Kankaria Lake in Ahmedabad. Around 144 children and adults will be able to take joy rides around the park on it at a time. The civic body had invited expression of interest (EOI) for the project in January this year and an eight-member committee comprising top civic officials was set up.
