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.
Delhi Blue Line: Second Longest Metro Corridor
India’s second longest metro line, the Blue Line of Delhi Metro, has a length of 56.11 kilometers. The line ties together the important residential and commercial areas of Delhi and Noida by connecting Dwarka Sector 21 and Noida Electronic City.
Delhi Metro: India’s Largest Metro Network
The Delhi Metro is the most extensive metro system in the country, covering an operating length of nearly 350 kilometers. The average daily ridership of 2.5 to 3 million people using the Metro is boosted to 7 to 8 million during the festive periods.
With air-conditioned coaches, underground and elevated tracks, and high-frequency services, metro trains have become the preferred mode of transport for millions of urban commuters, significantly reducing traffic congestion and travel time in major cities.
