Delhi Metro: Pink Line to ease burden of Blue Line

Delhi | Friday | 21st September, 2018

Summary:

The Pink Line once fully operational would cover about 58 kilometers on one side and is set leave behind Blue Line in terms of the numbers of station and kilometers covered. However the 9.7 km long stretch which is set to be available for general public will also take away lots of footfall from the usually crowded Blue Line. The section of this line also constitutes the longest distance between station as the distance between Mayur Vihar-I Metro station and the next station, Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station measures the longest on Delhi Metro map. Trial runs on the section covering five metro stations the stations include Mayur Vihar Pocket-I, Mayur Vihar-I, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Ashram and Vinoba Puri. Therefore, instead of taking a long route through Rajiv Chowk or Mandi House metro stations, commuters will be able to take a train to Noida City Centre from the Blue Line station..
