India’s Longest Metro Route: 45 Stations, 53 Km Journey in 83 Minutes

Delhi Metro Pink Line: India’s longest metro route connecting key city corridors with 45 stations.

Metro rail systems have made a huge impact on the transportation of cities in India. Not only they are giving very fast, safe and traffic-free travel in major cities but they also serve the longest route by choosing the metro line in Delhi.

The Pink Line has a total length of 57.49 kilometers and links up Majlis Park with Burari, creating a semi-circular corridor around the capital city. Initially, the route used to terminate at Shiv Vihar only, but it has now been extended to Burari, giving more accessibility across the important sectors of Delhi.

There are 45 stations on the line, of which 38 are in operation at present while 7 are being built. It takes an approximate duration of 83 minutes to complete the full journey across the entire route. The Pink Line also comes with 11 interchange stations which help people who transfer to other metro lines to do so easily and thereby making their daily commuting even more effective.
