Getting around in Delhi, India: A guide to the Delhi Metro

Trains pulls into station in Delhi India

With a population of nearly 19 million people, New Delhi in India is one of the largest cities in the world – which means that getting around while you’re there can be quite difficult.

You can use a ride-sharing app like Uber, or take an auto rickshaw, yes, but because there’s so much traffic, those rides can take forever , which is why taking the Delhi Metro may be your best bet. Bonus: Hopping on the metro is also a great way to get to know the city, and it’ll save you money too.

So here’s everything you need to know about the Indian capital’s public transit system:

A Brief History

For starters, the metro system in Delhi is still relatively new; it opened in December 2002. One of the most important facts about it is that it’s the first railway system in the entire world to get a United Nations certification for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is huge for Delhi, and, as a result, locals are very proud of their metro.

The metro has eight main lines, divided by colour – red, yellow, blue, green, violet, magenta, and pink – plus an eighth one, the orange line, that goes directly to the airport. There are around 184 metro stations in total, both underground and above ground – but they’re all air-conditioned. That air conditioning factor certainly isn’t as big a deal as the United Nations certification, but it’s definitely up there, as Delhi heat is no joke.

Getting Around

As you may expect from such a sprawling railway system, there are a couple of key rules and guidelines that you should know before you go:

1. To buy a ticket, which is either a card or a token, you have to go to the ticket counter at every station. Generally speaking, tokens are best for one-way trips, and cards are better if you are a frequent traveller. You can also purchase a Special Tourist Card, which gives you an unlimited number of rides for a limited amount of days. A one-day Tourist Card is 200 rupees (150 rupees + 50 rupees for the card itself, though the card is refundable), and a three-day Tourist Card is 500 rupees (450 rupees + 50 rupees for the card itself, which, again, is refundable).

2. The fare is not a set rate. Rather, it’s based on where you’re going. Unlike cities like New York, which have a set rate for a subway ride no matter where you’re going, the Delhi Metro charges you based on your distance travelled. To find out how much one ride costs, type in your departure and arrival stations here .

3. If possible, try to avoid peak travel times, as the metro gets very, very crowded. Locals say that peak travel time in the morning is anywhere from 9 am to 12 pm, and in the evening, it’s anytime from 6 pm to 8 pm. Of course, avoiding the metro during these times may not be possible, so if that’s the case, just be prepared to be squished – and keep an eye on your bag.

4. Each train has about six to eight cars, one of which is reserved only for women. Although the metro system was opened in 2002, the women’s-only car only opened in 2010, as a response to sexual harassment complaints. Not surprisingly, though, as is often the case with gender-related initiatives, there is a bit of a debate in Delhi about the existence of the women’s-only car. Contrarians argue that it simply reinforces gender roles, whereas those in favour of the car say it’s a nice place to breathe and know that you will not be bothered by men. No matter where you stand on the debate, it’s good to know that there is one in the first place.

5. Your bag will be scanned before you board – and you can’t board at certain stations if your bag weighs more than 15 kilograms. Every metro station has an X-Ray scanning machine to check your bag before you board. And now, as of February 2018, you are not even allowed [italics] to board the Delhi Metro at more than 35 select stations if your bag weighs more than 15 kilograms. This rule has actually been in place since the metro opened, but it’s only now that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is actually enforcing it.

6. You aren’t allowed to eat on the train. That said, many, though not all, Delhi Metro stations have kiosks where you can buy coffee, tea, and local snacks. Some of the stations even have entire food courts filled with popular local and international chains where you can buy full meals. (Hot tip: Go for local chains like Khan Chacha and Cafe Coffee Day, and pass on the international chains like Domino’s… because you can do better than that.)

Using the Delhi Metro to Get to Your Hotel from the Airport

When the Delhi Metro first opened, there wasn’t a line that went directly to the airport, but all of that changed when the Orange Line – i.e. the line to the airport – opened in February 2011. Both locals and travellers alike really love the addition, because it cuts the journey down from more than an hour to around 20 minutes (give or take). The Orange Line runs from Terminal 3 and the new AeroCity hospitality precinct to New Delhi Metro Station (which is opposite the New Delhi Railway Station). Trains run nearly every 10 minutes, from around 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day, and the trip costs 60 rupees.

And that’s not all. In May 2018, the DMRC opened a new magenta line that goes to the airport too. While it’s not an express train like the Orange Line, it still gives you even more airport-to-hotel options. The magenta line has 16 stations total – many of which interchange with other lines – and operates from Terminal 1.

1. Chandni Chowk, on the yellow line This brings you to Old Delhi, which is total chaos but a must-see. You can walk to the Red Fort from here too. There’s tons of street food around as well, so be sure to sample some – and don’t miss Karim’s .

Navigating the Airport Express Line: A Beginner’s Dive

Ah, so you’ve just landed in Delhi, and you’re itching to start your journey in this vibrant city. But first things first: let’s get you from the airport to the city center efficiently. Enter the Airport Express Line, one of Delhi Metro’s gems.

1. Where to Find the Airport Express Line at the Airport:

As soon as you exit the baggage claim area, follow the signs for the metro. The Delhi Airport Metro Station is strategically located at Terminal 3. If you happen to land at Terminal 1 or 2, don’t fret. Regular shuttle services provided by Delhi Metro will ferry you to Terminal 3, where you can hop onto the Airport Express Line.

2. Destination Points:

The Airport Express Line directly links the Indira Gandhi International Airport and New Delhi City Center. It’ll whisk you away to the New Delhi Railway Station, passing through key stations like Aerocity, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi Aerodrome, and Shivaji Stadium. You can easily connect to other metro lines from the New Delhi Railway Station or hail a cab to your final destination.

3. Cost Comparison:

Now, let’s talk money. A one-way ticket on the Airport Express Line will cost around ₹60 to ₹120 , depending on the distance. In contrast, taking a taxi from the airport to the city center can set you back anywhere from ₹500 to ₹1,000, or even more, based on the time of day, traffic, and type of taxi.

Apart from being pocket-friendly, the Airport Express Line is also a time-saver, taking a mere 20 minutes to reach the heart of the city. In Delhi’s infamous traffic, a taxi could take you upwards of an hour (or two, on particularly congested days).

4. Can You Take Luggage On The Delhi Metro?

The Airport Express Line trains are designed with travelers in mind. They have dedicated luggage racks, so you can stash away your bags and travel comfortably. However, just like any other metro around the world, it can get crowded during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

Pro Tip: If you’re staying in Aerocity, get down at the Delhi Aerocity station. It’s a hub of swanky hotels and eateries.

There you have it! The Airport Express Line is not just a mode of transport but a rite of passage for any first-timer in Delhi. Embrace the journey, soak in the sights, and before you know it, you’ll be navigating the metro lines like a local.

How To Buy Delhi Metro Cards & Tokens

Navigating the vast expanse of Delhi’s metro system can be a thrilling experience, especially for a first-timer. While the trains themselves are a marvel, understanding the ticketing system is crucial to ensure a smooth ride. Whether you’re in town for a few days or planning an extended stay, knowing your way around metro cards and tokens is the first step.

1. The Two Ticketing Options:

In essence, Delhi Metro offers two primary forms of ticketing: the token and the smart card. Tokens are best for one-off journeys, while the smart card is the frequent traveler’s best friend.

– How to Purchase: Walk up to the ticket counters or the Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) located at every metro station. Select your destination, pay the required amount, and you’re handed a small round token.

– Using the Token: Place it on the entry gate sensor, wait for the green light, and voilà! You’re granted access. Once you reach your destination, drop the token in the slot at the exit gate.

Note: Tokens are only valid on the day of purchase, so ensure you use them timely.

3. Smart Cards:

– How to Purchase: These can be bought at the Customer Care Centers of any metro station. You’ll need to pay a refundable deposit of ₹50 along with the desired credit amount. You can also opt for Tourist Cards, which offer unlimited travel for either one day (₹200) or three days (₹500).

– Using the Card: Simply tap the card on the sensor at the entry gate. The appropriate fare will be automatically deducted when you tap out at your destination.

– Recharging: Run out of balance? No worries. You can recharge the card at any metro station’s Customer Care or through TVMs. They also offer an online recharge option, which is handy when you’re on the go.

Pro-tip: If you’re here for over a day or two, invest in a smart card. Smart Card holders enjoy a 10% discount on fares; during non-peak hours, the discount is a whopping 20%. If you’re going to be traveling frequently, this card is a no-brainer.

4. Fare Charts:

Wondering about the costs? Every metro station showcases a fare chart that lists prices to various destinations. If in doubt, ask the friendly staff at the ticket counter or refer to the Delhi Metro’s official website or mobile app.

Whether you’re using a token or a smart card, the essence is to enjoy the journey. As you zoom through tunnels and over bridges, watch Delhi unfurl in all its chaotic beauty. Embrace the convenience, the hustle, and the rhythm of this city’s lifeline.

Etiquette and Safety Tips For The Delhi Metro

The Delhi Metro, as expansive and efficient as it is, also demands a certain level of etiquette to ensure a comfortable journey for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just dipping your toes into Delhi’s urban sprawl, adhering to these guidelines will make your metro experience seamless and pleasant.

1. Boarding:

– Wait in Line: Stations often have demarcated lines. Always stand behind these while waiting. Let passengers alight before boarding to avoid unnecessary chaos.

– Mind the Gap: Watch your step as there might be a small gap between the train and the platform.

2. Reserved Spaces:

– Ladies’ Compartment: The Delhi Metro reserves a coach exclusively for women. It’s typically the first coach, and while it’s okay for women to travel in other general compartments, men should steer clear of the ladies’ section.

– Seats for Special Needs: Some seats are reserved for the elderly, differently-abled, and pregnant women. Even if they’re vacant, offering them to someone in need is courteous.

3. Personal Space:

– Keep the Volume Down: Remember to keep your volume in check whether you’re listening to music or on a call. The metro is a shared space; let’s keep it harmonious.

– No Littering: Always use trash bins provided at stations. A clean metro is a happy metro!

4. Safety Precautions:

– Hold On: The metro can get crowded, and sudden stops can happen. Always hold onto the railings, especially if you’re standing.

– Beware of Pickpockets: Like any public transport system worldwide, always be mindful of your belongings. Keep bags zipped and wallets in front pockets.

5. Metro Do’s and Don’ts:

– No Eating or Drinking: Refrain from consuming food or drinks within the metro premises.

– Follow Announcements: Always pay attention to in-train and platform announcements for any updates or vital information.

6. Interactions and Help:

– Ask, Don’t Assume: Delhiites are generally amiable. If you’re unsure about something, it’s okay to ask a fellow passenger or metro staff.

– Emergency Button: Each coach has an emergency button. Use it ONLY in genuine emergencies, and metro staff will assist promptly.

Traveling via the Delhi Metro is more than just a commute; it’s an insight into the daily life of the city’s inhabitants. While the trains bridge distances, adhering to these etiquettes bridges cultural gaps, ensuring that everyone enjoys the journey as much as the destination.

Tips to Avoid the Delhi Metro Rush

Peak hours in the Delhi Metro can often resemble scenes from adventure movies – bustling platforms, packed coaches, and the race to grab a spot. While the metro system is a marvel of efficiency, the sheer volume of passengers during rush hours can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. Here’s how to navigate these busy times and make your commute smoother.

1. Understanding the Peak Hours:

– Morning Rush: Typically, 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM on weekdays.

– Evening Flurry: 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM is when most are heading back home or out to unwind.

– Weekends: While slightly less intense than weekday peaks, Sundays can still be busy, especially in tourist-heavy areas.

2. Opt for Off-Peak Travel:

If your schedule is flexible, plan your metro rides outside these peak times. Not only will you enjoy a less crowded journey, but you also get a 20% discount on your smart card during off-peak hours.

3. Know Your Exit:

Before boarding the train, knowing which door will be closest to your exit or transfer line is a good idea. The Delhi Metro app or signage at stations can guide you. Positioning yourself correctly can save you precious minutes and avoid the rush.

4. Be Ready for Boarding:

Have your token or smart card handy before you reach the entry gates. Fumbling in front of the gate can slow down the flow.

5. Travel Light:

If possible, avoid carrying bulky luggage during peak hours. It’s more comfortable for you and courteous to fellow passengers.

6. Stay Alert for Quick Stops:

Trains can halt suddenly. Always hold onto a railing or handle, especially if you’re not seated.

7. Avoid Last-Minute Exits:

If you realize your stop is next, start making your way toward the door a minute or two in advance. Trying to exit from the middle of a crowded coach at the last second can be a challenge.

8. Mind the Platform Screen Doors:

Some metro stations have platform screen doors for added safety. Always stand clear of these and wait for them to slide open before boarding.

9. Opt for Alternate Routes:

If one line is exceptionally crowded, check if another line or a quick interchange can get you to your destination. Sometimes, a slightly longer route can offer a much more relaxed journey.

Despite its rush hours, the Delhi Metro is still one of the most efficient ways to traverse the sprawling city. With a bit of planning, patience, and these tips, you’ll find yourself mastering the metro hustle like a seasoned Delhite in no time.

Using The Metro with Other Modes of Delhi Transport

640px-Delhi_Metro_and_CNG_Buses_in_Azadpur_Neighborhood

The Delhi Metro, impressive as it is, forms just one part of the city’s vast transportation network. To truly maximize your mobility and experience all that Delhi has to offer, you’ll often find yourself transitioning between the metro and other modes of transport. Here’s how you can effortlessly combine them for a fluid travel experience:

1. Metro to Auto-rickshaw:

– The Three-Wheeled Wonder: Auto-rickshaws, often simply called “autos”, are ubiquitous in Delhi. These green and yellow chariots are perfect for short distances and to reach places that are not directly accessible by metro.

3. Metro-Feeder Buses:

– Bridge the Gap: Delhi Metro operates feeder bus services at many stations to connect areas not directly touched by the metro.

– Tips: These buses are frequent, and fares are nominal. Keep some change handy, and ask the conductor for assistance if in doubt.

4. Ola & Uber – App-based Cabs:

– Convenient and Comfortable: App-based cab services like Ola and Uber are widely used for a more personalized travel option.

– Tips: Most metro stations have strong mobile network connectivity, so you can book right as you exit. Ensure the pick-up point is clear to avoid confusion.

5. Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) Buses:

– Widespread Network: DTC buses connect every nook and cranny of Delhi, offering a more in-depth exploration of the city.

– Tips: Buses can be crowded during peak hours. Google Maps can help identify bus routes and numbers. Keep an eye out for AC buses for a more comfortable ride.

6. Renting Bicycles and Scooters:

– Discover at Your Pace: Many areas offer bicycle and scooter rentals, especially around tourist spots. An eco-friendly and healthy way to see the sights!

– Tips: Always wear a helmet if renting a scooter. Familiarize yourself with local traffic rules and be cautious, as Delhi traffic can be unpredictable.

If you follow Delhi Metro Map, you should be able to see most of these attractions by using the great connectivity of the Delhi Metro.

In addition, there are many hangout spots where you can have a good time! Among all the cities in India, Delhi has the most efficient mass transportation infrastructure.

So let’s see how can you use Delhi’s Metro Network to visit key attractions in the city. This post will help you to figure out which metro line should work best for you if you want to see the most famous attractions in Delhi!

Metro Route Network in Delhi-NCR

Delhi is a sprawling metropolis and the capital of India. Culture, architecture, history, natural beauty, luxury, shopping, power, government or parties – Delhi has it all. The capital of the world’s largest democracy, Delhi is incomplete without its rapid transit system – The Delhi Metro.

You can read my post on historical monuments in Delhi to visit.

Looking at the Delhi Metro map, you can see that it covers 350+ km and 250 metro stations, is among the most extensive metro systems in the world, and offers a world-class experience.

It provides a convenient form of transport to 55 lakh passengers every day, which translates to over two billion people per annum! The Delhi Metro network has nine color-coded lines catering to designated routes. Tourists can use the lines to travel along the route and use local transport for sightseeing. The view from the metro itself is a pleasure to look at.

There are a total of 8 lines in Delhi Metro; Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Violet, Orange, Magenta & Pink. Each Metro connects a certain part of Delhi to another and if you want to visit an attraction, there should be a close by metro station. If you know the station and the line, you should be able to easily navigate the transportation labyrinth of Delhi Metro.

Before we get in-depth about various Lines and famous attractions along the Delhi Metro stations, I’d like to recommend getting a Metro pass. It’s not only cost-effective but also super convenient.

It’s Smart to Get a Metro Pass in Delhi

Taking a metro pass (smart card) will make your journey easier as well as pocket-friendly. There’s no need to stand in the token queues at every single stop. One-day pass costs Rs. 150 (Rs. 50 refundable security) and you can use it for unlimited travel. Similarly, a three-day pass costs Rs. 300 (Rs. 50 refundable security). These passes are contactless cards, and you can quickly swipe it at the entry and exit gates.

Get yourself a handy Delhi Metro map and following one metro line in a day would be convenient since you wouldn’t have to switch stations.

Map of top 10 attractions in Delhi

The typical top ten attractions are listed below. You can find the detailed locations of these places on the maps above.

Vijay Chowk - Vijay Chowk or 'Victory Square', a large piazza at the base of Raisina Hill, was planned as a commanding approach to the Viceroy's House, now the Indian President's residence. Vijay Chowk is flanked by two long, classical Secretariat buildings (the North and South Blocks), which house several ministries as well as the Prime Minister's Office.
Lotus Temple (Bahai House of Worship) - Delhi's Baha'i Temple is an iconic piece of modern architecture that dominates the surrounding suburban sprawl. Twenty-seven spectacular giant white petals of marble in the shape of an unfolding lotus spring from nine pools and walkways, to symbolize the nine unifying spiritual paths of the Baha'i faith; each petal alcove contains an extract from the Baha'i holy scriptures. Set amid well-maintained gardens, the temple is at its most impressive at sunset. The lotus flower is a symbol of purity and spirituality throughout India, and Delhi's Baha'i Temple celebrates this in a unique architectural way. The Lotus Temple, as the Baha'i House of Worship is also known, is probably Delhi's most iconic modern holy site and one of the most visited places in the world. This lotus-shaped innovative structure is a world where silence and order prevail.
Rashtrapati Bhavan - Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroy's Palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan, situated at the crest of Raisina Hill, is now the official residence of the President of India.
Jama Masjid - One of the world's largest mosques, whose three domes are visible from miles around. Don't miss the panoramic view from the south minaret. Visitors are welcome any time except during prayers.
Chandni Chowk - Old Delhi's main thoroughfare, Chandni Chowk was once a sublime canal lined with trees and some of the most opulent bazaars in the whole of Asia. Today it is the heart of Old Delhi, a bustling area where religious and commercial activity mix easily. It is lined with shrines of various religions, including the fascinating Digambar Jain Temple.
Red Fort (Lal Qila) - The largest of Old Delhi's monuments is Lal Qila, known in English as the Red Fort because of the red sandstone from which it was built. It was built as the main residence of the royal family. It's an important top attraction, and combines Indo-Persian architecture to perfection. Red sandstone battlements give this imperial citadel its name, Lal ('Red') Qila ('Fort'). The Red Fort remains a powerful symbol of Indian nationhood. Each night except Monday, a sound-and-light show takes place in the Red Fort.
Lakshmi Narayan Mandir - Northwest of New Delhi GPO and directly west of Connaught Place, is a modern Hindu temple that also welcomes tourists. A fairly typical example of modern Indian temple architecture, with its marble entrance and ochre and maroon shikhars (spires), the Birla Mandir, as it is popularly known, has images of Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi in its main shrine. The main shrine is dedicated to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, and her consort Narayana, aka Vishnu, the preserver of life.
Connaught Place (CP) - This shopping complex, with its Palladian arches and stuccoed colonnades, was designed as a deliberate contrast to the noises and chaos of an Indian bazaar. CP it takes the form of a circle, divided by eight radial roads and three ring roads into blocks lettered A–N. The term Connaught Place originally referred to the inner circle, the outer one being Connaught Circus (now Indira Chowk). CP is crammed with restaurants, bars, shops, cinemas, banks and airline offices.
India Gate - Anchoring a traffic circle near the far end of Rajpath from the Indian government, this massive sandstone arch commemorates soldiers of the British Indian Army.
Rajpath - Running east of Vijay Chowk is Rajpath, a two-mile-long avenue used for parades, with ornamental fountains, canals and lawns on either side. This wide boulevard epitomizes the spirit of the British Raj.
National Museum - The National Museum, just south of Rajpath, provides a good overview of Indian culture and history. Five millennia of Indian history can be explored at the National Museum, with a collection of more than 200,000 pieces of Indian art.
Paharganj - North of Connaught Place and directly west of New Delhi railway station, Paharganj, centred around Main Bazaar, provides the first experience of the Subcontinent for many budget travellers. Packed with cheap hotels, restaurants, cafés and dhabas, and with a busy fruit and vegetable market halfway along, it's also a paradise for shoestring shoppers seeking psychedelic clothing, joss sticks, bags and oils of patchouli or sandalwood.
Gandhi Smriti - The Gandhi Smriti is the house where the Mahatma lived his last days. Visitors can view an exhibition about his life, and follow in his last footsteps to the spot where he died.
Lodi Gardens - A picturesque park located 2km west of Nizamuddin along Lodi Road and landscaped around some imposing 15th- century tombs. Lodhi Gardens is one of Delhi's most picturesque Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia parks, and a favourite haunt of joggers & yoga enthusiasts.
Purana Qila - The majestic fortress of Purana Qila, literally 'Old Fort', stands on an ancient site that has been continuously occupied since 1000 BC, as archaeological excavations have revealed.
Humayun's Tomb - Close to the medieval Muslim centre of Nizamuddin, Humayun's Tomb stands at the crossroads of the Lodi and Mathura roads. A prototype for the Taj Mahal, whose lovely gardens offer an escape from the heat. Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, is buried in this tomb, the first great example of a Mughal garden tomb, and inspiration for several later monuments, such as the incomparable Taj Mahal. Resting on an immense two-story platform, the tomb structure of red sandstone and white marble is surrounded by gardens intersected by water channels.
Bazaars of Old Delhi - Old Delhi bazaars are legendary. An English visitor over a 100 years ago, wrote in praise of the 'Cashmere shawls, gold and silver embroidery, jewellery, enamels and carpets' found here. Today the great wholesale bazaars of Chandni Chowk still retain a souk-like quality. Their narrow streets are lined with shops, whose goods spill out onto the pavements.
INA Market - This lively bazaar retains all the trappings of a traditional Indian market but also sells imported foodstuffs such as cheese, pasta and exotic varieties of seafood.
Qutub Minar Complex & Mehrauli - The ruins of Delhi's first incarnation, a thirteenth-century city dominated by an impressive Victory Tower. India's highest single tower, Qutb Minar, marks the site of the first Muslim kingdom in North India.
Nizamuddin Complex - A historic necropolis dedicated to the memory of various Sufi saints.
Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - One of the newest additions to Delhi's spiritual scene is Akshardham temple: a theme park of polytheistic Hinduism. This bulwark of pink sandstone and Italian marble - possibly the largest Hindu temple in the world - is undeniably dramatic. Set in landscaped gardens with a musical fountain, the temple incorporates traditional and craftsmanship as well as an IMAX film about the sect's founder.
Raj Ghat - Ghats are steps that lead into the water of the Yamuna River. Ghats have been used in India for centuries, for mundane things like washing clothes and bathing, but also for worship and funeral cremation. Raj Ghat, east of Delhi Gate – really more a park than a ghat – is the place where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated.
Gandhi Memorial Museum - Opposite Raj Ghat southwest corner, the small Gandhi Memorial Museum houses some of Gandhi's photographs and writings.
Other attractions shown on our maps include: National Crafts Museum, Rajghat, National Gallery of Modern Art, Jantar Mantar, Kashmiri Gate, National Gandhi Museum, Shwetamber Jain Temple, Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum, ISKCON Temple, National Rail Museum, National Zoological Park, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia, Safdarjung's Tomb, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Dargah Qutub Sahib, Sunehri Bagh Mosque, Mandi House Complex, Nizamuddin Complex, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.

What are some interesting facts about Delhi?

Tourist information centre & maps - To pick up a free foldaway map of Delhi or to get up-to-date information on sights, city tours, and taxi/rickshaw prices, head for the India Tourism Office near Connaught Place.

Getting around in Delhi city - Most of the areas of Delhi shown on our maps are best covered by the metro, taxi, auto-rickshaw or a hired car and driver. In contrast, the narrow lanes of Old Delhi are a walker's delight, though you can hop on a cycle rickshaw if you get tired. The challenge Delhi presents is to find areas—beyond the Old City—in which walking is a viable mode of exploration. One of these areas is the central British-built commercial hub, Connaught Place. 'CP' is a tourist magnet for its travel agent bucket shops, restaurants, and shops, as well as proximity to a number of mid-range and budget hotels. It's also the location of Delhi's main Metro station.

Using metro trains - The city's metro service is air-conditioned, reliable, and state-of-the-art. With new stations and lines opening for service every few months, subway service is rapidly changing the face of the city. It's a convenient way to move between Connaught Place (Rajiv Chowk station), Lutyens' Delhi (Central Secretariat station), and Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar stations). For example, getting to Old Delhi from CP is three stops and takes about 15 minutes. The most popular lines are red, yellow, blue, green, violet, and the airport express, which links the airport with the centrally located New Delhi stop, which is close to the New Delhi railway stop. Maps are available at the official tourist office and often at your hotel concierge desk. The Rajiv Chowk station is massive; ask for directions as you go.

Navigating Delhi using our maps - India's capital has more sights than any other city in India, but they are concentrated in three distinct areas—Old Delhi, New Delhi, and South Delhi (known as the Qutb Minar Complex)—which should be tackled as separate tours (or at a push, two could be grouped together). The best way to cover a lot of ground in Delhi is to hire a car, especially if you're on a limited schedule. Avoid tackling Old Delhi on your first day if you've never been to India before—its startling chaos can be overwhelming. Starting with New Delhi will also give you a better idea of the aesthetic and cultural dichotomy between the two areas. A drive through the graceful avenues of the British capital will ease you gently into the capital, but don't let it lull you into a state of pleasant, orderly inertia. The rest of the city requires that all your senses be in working order. Depending on your interests, visit South and Central Delhi's monuments (Humayun's and Safdarjung's tomb, the Qutub Minar, Lodhi Gardens, Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah), some sites commemorating the leaders of India's independence movement (the Nehru Museum or Gandhi Smriti), a museum, or a temple or gurudwara (Sikh temple). When you're ready, plunge into Old Delhi—explore the Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the stunning Jama Masjid, then venture into Chandni Chowk. Make sure to eat at the famous Gali Paranthe Wali and the restaurant Karim's.

Orientation - Although Delhi is spread out, the areas of interest to travellers are relatively easy to navigate. In Old Delhi theres the main Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT) and, to the south, the New Delhi train station. Near this station, acting as a sort of buffer zone between the old and new cities, is Paharganj, jam-packed with cheap accommodation. New Delhi can be further subdivided into the business and residential areas around Connaught Place (the citys core) and the government areas around Rajpath to the south. Running south from Connaught Place is Janpath, which has the tourist office, hotels and a shopping strip. The domestic terminals of the Indira Gandhi International Airport are 15km southwest of the centre and the international terminal is a further 8km away.

About Delhi - The vast urban sprawl of contemporary Delhi is, in fact, a conglomeration of several distinct enclaves, chief among which are Old Delhi, with its 16th- and 17th-century Mughal-built monuments and congested souk-like bazaars; and New Delhi with its wide avenues, grand vistas and Colonial mansions, built by the British in the 1930s as their imperial capital. New Delhi has government buildings and also houses the Diplomatic Enclave where all the embassies are located. The picturesque 12th-century ruins of citadels built by the first Islamic rulers can be seen in the Qutb-Mehrauli area, and the affluent new middle class suburbs of South Delhi lie close by. Slums and shanty towns dot the outer fringes of the city.

Old Delhi - Anchored by Lal Qila (the Red Fort) and Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, the walled Old City (originally called Shahjahanabad) provides the best glimpse into the city's treasured Mughal past, with a chaotic mix of colors and scents that stir the senses. Narrow, winding lanes branch off the main avenue, Chandni Chowk, crowded with wholesale markets, ancient shops, hidden monuments, and crumbling havelis (mansions).

Central Delhi - With the India Gate memorial at its heart, the capital built in interlocking circles by the British is now home to government buildings, parks, upscale markets, and the low-lying bungalows of the country's most powerful citizens.

South Delhi - The suburbs to the south of Central Delhi include semi-gated residential colonies, markets, and commercial districts. Here, too, are some of the oldest monuments in the capital, lovely parks, and charming locales such as Hauz Khas Village. It also has many of Delhi's can't-miss sites, including Humayun's Tomb and the Qutub Minar.

Seven Cities of Delhi shown on our maps - Delhi is said to consist of seven successive cities, with British-built New Delhi making an eighth. In truth, Delhi has centred historically on three main areas: Lal Kot and extensions to its northeast, where the city was located for most of the Middle Ages; Old Delhi, the city of the Mughals, founded by Shah Jahan in the seventeenth century; and New Delhi, built by the British just in time to be the capital of independent India.

Shopping in Delhi - The hallmark of shopping in Delhi is the bewildering variety of merchandise, markets and styles. Besides Connaught Place, almost every residential colony boasts a market. Old, established shops, bazaars and markets co-exist happily with glitzy, high-end boutiques and department stores and one can buy anything from seasonal fruits and traditional handicrafts to designer clothes and the latest imported electronic items. New Delhi's main shopping centres are in and around Connaught Place and Janpath where the state emporiums and Cottage Industries offer an exciting and varied range of textiles, jewellery and souvenirs at fixed and reasonable prices. In the north is Chandni Chowk, the traditional market, while to the south are Khan Market, Sundar Nagar and Santushti, the old urban villages of Hauz Khas, Shahpur Jat and Mehrauli, and Dilli Haat, a crafts bazaar on Aurobindo Marg.

Getting around the wider Delhi region - Delhi has good air, rail and road links to the rest of the region. There are daily flights to Leh, Srinagar, Amritsar and Chandigarh. Amritsar and Chandigarh are also connected to Delhi by fast trains and a National Highway.

In Old Delhi, there are attractions like mosques, forts and other monuments that represent India history. The important places in Old Delhi include the majestic Red Fort as its mentioned in New Delhi attractions map. New Delhi, on the other hand, is a modern city designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. New Delhi houses many government buildings and embassies, apart from places of historical interest. The Qutub Minar, Red Fort and Humayun Tomb are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Situated along the ceremonial Rajpath avenue (meaning King Way) in New Delhi, India Gate is a memorial raised in honour of the Indian soldiers who died during the Afghan wars and World War I. The names of the soldiers who died in these wars are inscribed on the walls. The cenotaph (or shrine) in the middle is constructed with black marble and depicts a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier helmet.

Sansad Bhavan or the Parliament of India is a circular building designed by the British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker in 1912–1913. Construction began in 1921, and in 1927 the building was opened as the home of the Council of State, the Central Legislative Assembly, and the Chamber of Princes. Built with a mix of Western and Indian styles, Rashtrapati Bhavan as you can see in New Delhi attractions map was originally built for the Governor General of India. Inaugurated in 1931 as the Viceregal Lodge, the name was changed in 1959 after India became a republic. Now it is the Presidential Palace of India. Connaught Place is one of the largest commercial areas in New Delhi, India. It is also known as C.P. A heritage building and a nice place to shop, with a lot of variety - both branded and privately owned businesses - and lots of restaurants for every taste and budget. Just be careful of unscrupulous men trying to take you to specific places, they are touts and earn huge commissions, as a result you will end-up spending much much more.

Lodhi Garden Once called Lady Willingdon Park as its shown in New Delhi attractions map, laid out in 1930, this beautiful park contains 15th and 16th century monuments that are scattered among its well-kept lawns, flowers, shady trees and ponds. During the early morning and evening hours, the sprawling garden is a favourite spot for fitness freaks and those in search of solitude. Humayun Tomb was built for Humayun widow, Hamida Banu Begum. Designed by a Persian architect named Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, the structure was begun in 1562 and completed in 1565. The tomb established a standard for all later Mughal monuments, which followed its design, most notably the Taj Mahal. The Purana Quila (Old Fort) is a good example of Mughal military architecture. Built by Pandavas, renovated by Humayun, with later modifications by Sher Shah Suri, the Purana Quila is a monument of bold design, which is strong, straightforward, and every inch a fortress.

New Delhi zoo map

Map of New Delhi zoo park

The New Delhi zoo map shows recommended tours of the New Delhi Zoological Park. This zoo map of New Delhi will allow you to easily find out where each animal is and where to picnic in the Zoological Park of New Delhi in India. The New Delhi zoo map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

In India, at the time of independence, there was no zoo in New Delhi. The ‘Indian Board of Wildlife (now National Board for Wildlife) which was constituted in 1951 laid stress on establishment of zoos in larger cities of the country in its first meetingin 1952 as its mentioned in New Delhi zoo map. With more leisure hours of the increasing population, both resident and floating, and increasing in flow of tourist, need of having a zoological Park at the National capital was felt. The objective was to provide a healthy and inexpensive recreation. It was also realized that conservation education can also be parted through zoo.

The Park was formally inaugurated on 1st November, 1959 by Mr Punjab Rao Deshmukh, Hon'ble Minister, Government of India. This Park was initially known as New Delhi Zoo. In the year 1982 it was given the status of the National Zoological Park with the idea of it being the model zoo of the country. Here at the National Zoological Park, birds and animals live in an environment that in many ways resemble their natural habitat as its shown in New Delhi zoo map. The National Zoological Park not only provides a home for endangered species, but also helps them to breed in captivity. Eventually they may once again thrive in the wild.

From biggest cats to the tiniest birds, the zoo has all kinds of animals and birds. Initially, it was known as New Delhi Zoo when in 1982 it was renamed The National Zoological Park with the idea of making it the model zoo of the country. At the Zoological Park, birds and animals live in an environment that in many ways resemble their natural habitat. The zoo not only provides a home for endangered species but also helps them to breed in captivity. It also holds Conservation Breeding Programmes for Asiatic Lion, Royal Bengal Tiger, Brow Antlered Deer, Swamp Deer, Indian rhinoceros and red jungle fowl as you can see in New Delhi zoo map. Eventually, they may once again thrive in the wild.

Delhi by Metro | 15 tourist destinations in three days !

Delhi Metro, the country's largest metro system will take you to each and every look of the capital city with ease and comfort.

Delhi by Metro : There is no better way to travel in Delhi than by Delhi Metro, the country’s largest metro system will take you to each and every look of the capital city with ease and comfort. My visit to Delhi was for 3 days and the incredible metro network helped me to cover 15 tourist destinations and shopping hubs in such a short period of time.

Having arrived by flight, I took the Airport Express line of the metro from IGI Airport station in terminal 3 which brings you to the city centre in just 20 minutes. If you are arriving in Terminal 1 or 2, you can take the metro from the new Terminal-1 IGIA station (Magenta Line). I checked into my hotel in the morning at Paharganj, a busy market area that is filled with a number of hotels and restaurants attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. The neighborhood is advantageous for all tourists since it is situated in Central Delhi with its main bazar road having the New Delhi Railway station on its east and RK Ashram Marg Metro station on its west end. So, area suggestion for budget travellers: Paharganj!

The plan, metro and blog overview

I visited Delhi for the first time this year for 3 days and slotted another day in between for Agra. The ideal time to visit Delhi is August-October and February-April so as to avoid the city’s extreme weather conditions.

Delhi Metro is one of the ten biggest metro systems in the world spanning over 300 km with 8 colour coded lines. If Phase IV expansion happens as planned, it will become the 3rd biggest metro system. Although it has eight lines, all the famous tourist attractions can be covered by the Yellow and Violet Line itself.

The entire blog has been written in a chronological order and all the locations are put-up in an order of comfort as it was planned and done after taking into consideration of all the locations, distances and the metro stations. The sub-headings are to be read as Time: Location Name – Metro Station Name (Metro Line Name). So, what are we waiting for? Let the journey begin!

The first day can be covered entirely on the busy Yellow Line that connects Samayapur Badli in North Delhi to HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon, south of Delhi.

11.00 am: Rashtrapati Bhavan – Central Secretariat (Yellow/Violet Line)

02.00 pm: Qutub Minar – Qutub Minar (Yellow Line)

Although the station is named after the monument, it’s a couple of kilometres away and you would have to take the bus or preferably an auto to reach the Qutab complex. The towering minaret which was constructed storey wise by different dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate is only one of the principal attractions in the complex. The Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, an incomplete Alai Minar, the iron pillar of Delhi and a few other monuments constructed by various empires make you wonder about the importance of the area in Indian history.

05.00 pm: Tomb of Safdarjung – Jorbagh (Yellow Line)

A 5-minute walk from the Jorbagh metro station lies the Tomb of Safdarjung, the tomb of the finest statesman under the Mughal empire. The red sandstone and marble mausoleum are surrounded by a large garden and are one of the few less crowded tourist attractions in the city despite the monument being picturesque.

06.00 pm: Lodhi Garden – Jorbagh (Yellow Line) The road opposite to the Tomb of Safdarjung is the busy Lodhi road and a 10-minute walk along its tree-lined footpaths will take you to the Lodhi Gardens. The park which is now used by residents of New Delhi for walking was only created to landscape the tombs of Mohammed Shah and Sikander Lodi, an idea given by Lady Willingdon in 1936. Although the tombs here are not a great attraction that requires more than a look, take a break in the vast park as the evening breeze sets in before heading to the final spot for the day.

07.30 pm: India Gate – Central Secretariat (Yellow/Violet Line)

Head back to the metro station where the day began and walk down the Rajpath. If you are tired and wouldn’t prefer the 30-minute walk, take a bus directly from Lodhi Garden to India Gate. Designed by Edwin Lutyens, the memorial is for the Indian Army soldiers who died in World War 1 and the Third Anglo-Afghan War, the war memorial is best seen when it’s illuminated after sunset. The stillness beneath the memorial delivers a patriotic feeling, at least on your first visit.

Travel Tip: Make sure to get your entry tickets for all monuments from the ASI website with ease in one click thereby saving a lot of time on the trip by avoiding the long queues especially in the world heritage sites of Qutab Minar, Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb.

The second day is going to be through another North-South corridor – Violet Line which connects Kashmere Gate to Faridabad in Haryana. A stretch of this metro line vowing to its historical locations has been named as the Heritage line. So, let’s hop on!

11.00 am: Red Fort – Lal Quila (Violet Line)

As you emerge out of the underground station, you are welcomed by the majestic red sandstone walls of the Red Fort – home of the Mughal dynasty for two centuries and was built by Shah Jahan. Despite the inside of the Fort containing several magnificent structures, remember these are only those that survived the plunder and destruction by Persian ruler Nadir Shah in 1747 followed by the British in 1857.

12.30 pm: Jama Masjid – Jama Masjid (Violet Line)

Jama Masjid is less than a kilometre away from Red Fort, either walk or just hop on the metro and get down at the next station. The moment you come out of the station, the atmosphere immediately transforms from a calm, less crowded metro station to a buzzing bazaar where you have to walk through the crowd with a slowly emerging view of the facade of the Masjid. The mosque was built by Shah Jahan in 1656 and was also the Mughal emperor’s last monument.

03.00 pm: Purana Qila – Khan Market (Violet Line)

Post lunch, get on the metro and head straight towards Khan Market Metro station and walk for 15 mins or take an auto to Purana Qila situated adjacent to the Delhi Zoo. Purana Qila is one of the oldest forts in the country, although the current form of the structure was built by Sher Shah Suri, there are also claims based on excavations that this could be the site of Indraprastha, the capital city of the Pandavas. The fort also has a Baoli (step well) and the Sher Mandal – an observatory tower cum library built by Babur where Humayun fell to death.

04.30 pm: Humayun’s Tomb – JLN (Violet Line)

Take an auto from Purana Qila to Humayun’s Tomb, the resting place of the great Mughal emperor built by his wife Haji Begum. The complex is also referred to as the ‘Dormitory of the Mughals’ as a number of members of the Mughal family have been buried here, including Dara Shikoh, the first son of Shah Jahan who lost the succession battle to brother Aurangazeb. The Persian style architecture of the tomb along with its elegant Mughal styled gardens makes it a must visit place in the city.

06.30 pm: Nizamuddin Dargah – JLN (Violet Line)

A 10-minute walk down Lodhi road from Humayun’s Tomb will take you to the dargah (mausoleum) of Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya, one of the most famous Sufi saints of all time. The place will give an altogether different vibe, especially during the night hours. The famous Qawwali sessions that happen every Thursday are a must visit but unfortunately, it has been stopped for a while. The revered Sufi poet and musician Amir Khusrau, one of the finest disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya is also buried in the same vicinity.

Travel Tip: Most of the monuments in Delhi are closed on Mondays, so if your trip follows a weekend, make sure you head out and visit Agra.

10.00 am: Lotus Temple – Kalkaji Mandir (Violet Line/Magenta Line)

The Lotus temple, also the house of worship of the Bahai faith is a modern architectural marvel that also sees one of the highest tourist footfalls in the city. The lotus flower themed marble-clad attraction is a house of worship for the Bahai faith, although no ritual activities take place, all visitors are taken to the main hall, where one can choose to meditate or just be astonished by the pin-drop silence.

12 pm: Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum – Lok Kalyan Marg (Yellow Line)

Leaving the Lotus temple with a state of tranquillity, its time to get back on the all-time rush hour Yellow line before winding up the trip. The house-turned-museum of the former Prime Minister has a number of her belongings and photos that take you through her life and also of her family’s. The office-cum-library has been left untouched and is a highlight of the museum, the spot of her assassination is also marked on the outside. Although initially, I was reluctant to visit here due to time constraint, it was totally worth it.

03.00 pm: Chandni Chowk – Chandni Chowk (Yellow Line)

Post lunch, get on the yellow line and head to the buzzing Chandni Chowk, a Mughal era market which is now also one of the country’s biggest. The market not only has a name for shopping but also for its several iconic eateries including a number of Paratha shops in Paranthewali Gali.

04.30 pm: Jantar Mantar – Rajiv Chowk (Blue/Yellow Line)

LAST STOP! Rajiv Chowk! A 5-minute walk from Delhi’s busiest metro station will take you to city’s Jantar Mantar, one of the 5 observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh. It is one of the very few ancient architectures surviving in the middle of an urban jungle. It takes some time for us to understand the science behind each structure with a lot of confusion but surely leaves you astonished by the knowledge in astronomy by the Maharaja and his people.

5.30 pm: Connaught Place – Rajiv Chowk (Blue/Yellow Line)

Connaught Place is the go-to-go hangout place for anyone from the city or visiting it. CP is just not the address businesses wants but also an architect’s fantasy, courtesy of Edwin Lutyens and a tourist’s most loved spot in the city, thanks to all the shopping spots and the restos including some iconic names like Keventers, Wenger’s Deli, just to name a few. Even just taking a seat in one of the benches facing the shops or the Central Park in itself gives a soothing pleasure and the mammoth metro station right under the park makes you grateful on how both British era and modern architecture has combined to make CP a wonderful place of what it is today. End of the trip!

Delhi is such a historic, finely planned and a well-connected place that makes it a must-visit city for all. Credits to the Mughals for the monuments they built, Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker for the planning of New Delhi and E. Sreedharan & his team for building the incredible Delhi Metro. To make your trip even better, get hold of William Dalrymple’s ‘City of Djinns’ book and read it either before, during the journey or after. I have fallen in love with Delhi at first sight and I hope everyone will.

Quick Guide to Delhi Metro Train Travel

How to Travel Around Delhi by Train and Go Sightseeing

Shraddha Gosavi / TripSavvy

Want to take the train for transportation in Delhi ? It's one of the cheapest and most convenient ways of getting around the city. Here's what you need to know about train travel on Delhi's Metro train network.

Overview of the Delhi Metro

Delhi has an excellent, air-conditioned train network called the Metro. It started operating in December 2002 and provides connectivity to Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh, and Ballabhgarh. Currently, the network has eight regular lines (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Violet, Pink, Magenta and Gray) plus the Airport Express line (Orange). There are 285 stations, which are a mix of underground, ground level, and elevated stations.

The Metro's development is being executed in phases spread out over 20 years, with each phase taking 3-5 years. When finished, it will surpass the London Underground in length.

The Metro network was launched with the Red Line, which joins northeast Delhi and northwest Delhi. Phase I was completed in 2006, and Phase II in 2011. Phase III, with an additional three new lines (Pink, Magenta, and Gray) including two ring lines, finally became fully operational by the end of 2019 after long delays. Construction on the final fourth phase, with six new radial lines to outlying areas, commenced at the end of 2019 and is expected to be completed by 2025.

What's notable about the Delhi Metro is that it's the world's first railway system to get United Nations certification for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Metro Tickets, Timetable, and Security

Trains on the five regular lines run from about 5.30 a.m. until 11.30 p.m. A listing of last train departures is available on the Delhi Metro Rail website.
The frequency of trains ranges from every couple of minutes during peak hours, up to 10 minutes at other times.
This journey planner provides details of fares and routes.
The Metro operates on an automated ticketing system. Tickets (which are cards or tokens) can be purchased from ticket counters at stations.
The minimum fare is 10 rupees and the maximum fare is 60 rupees.
Special Tourist Cards are available for unlimited travel over short periods on all lines except for the Airport Express Line. The cost is 200 rupees for one day, and 500 rupees for three days. A 50 rupee deposit is also payable, as cards are required to be returned at the end of travel.
The first carriage of every Metro train is reserved for women.
Security is tight, so be prepared to have your bags checked and body scanned at ticket gates.

Delhi Airport Metro Express

For travel to and from Delhi airport , there's a special Airport Metro Express Line that covers the distance between New Delhi and the airport in under 20 minutes (as opposed to the usual hour or more travel time). It's also possible to check your baggage in before you board the train if you're flying with one of the full-service airlines (Jet Airways, Air India, and Vistara).

Find out more about the Delhi Airport Metro Express line.

In addition, the new Magenta Line has a stop at New Delhi Airport Terminal 1.

Delhi Metro Map

The lines on the Delhi Metro can be seen on this downloadable and printable Delhi Metro map.

Using the Delhi Metro for Sightseeing

If you're on a budget, the Metro is an inexpensive way of getting around to see Delhi's sights. The Yellow Line, which runs from north to south, covers many of the top attractions. It's particularly handy for those who want to stay in classy south Delhi, away from the hustle and bustle, but still want to explore the old parts of the city in the north.

Important stations on the Yellow Line, in order from north to south, and their places of interest include:

Chandni Chowk -- chaotic Old Delhi, the Red Fort, Juma Masjid, bazaars, and street food .
Rajiv Chowk -- Connaught Place and Janpath in New Delhi's commercial district.
Central Secretariat -- the heart of imperial Delhi on Rajpath, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Purana Qila, National Gallery of Modern Art, and numerous museums.
Race Course -- Gandhi Smriti Museum and Indira Gandhi Memorial.
Jorbagh -- Safdarjung's Tomb and Lodhi Gardens.
INA -- Dilli Haat , with handicraft stalls from across India.
Hauz Khas -- Delhi's hip urban village, crammed with cafes, bars, and boutiques.
Qutab Minar -- one of Delhi's most popular historical monuments, and the Garden of Five Senses.

Other important stations on other lines are Khan Market for shopping (east of Central Secretariat on the Violet Line), and Akshardham (on the Blue Line).

Tourists should also note that the special Heritage Line (which is an extension of the Violet line and connects Central Secretariat to Kashmere Gate) was opened in May 2017. This underground line has three stations that provide direct access to Delhi Gate, Jama Masjid and the Red Fort in Old Delhi. Plus, the Kashmere Gate station provides an interchange between the Violet, Red, and Yellow lines.

Public transport tickets in Delhi: best types for travelers & actual prices

Buses, metro trains, and auto-rickshaws are becoming increasingly popular modes of public transit in Delhi, with many commuters opting to use these modes of conveyance to get around the city. Because there is such a wide variety of tickets to choose from, making the decision about which one to buy might be challenging. Commuters in Delhi are fortunate in that they can choose from several different types of tickets, each of which comes with a unique set of advantages over the others.

There are a few different kinds of tickets that passengers may purchase for use on the Delhi Metro. The normal ticket is the most typical one, and it may be purchased at any metro stop. These tickets are required to be purchased in advance of boarding the train, and each one is only good for one specific trip. There is another type of ticket known as a daily pass that enables unrestricted travel on any and all metro routes for a single day. In addition, commuters have the option of purchasing monthly or annual passes, which result in significant cost savings when compared to paying for individual rides.

There are two different kinds of tickets that may be purchased for individuals who ride buses:

Single-ride tickets, which must be purchased in advance and can only be used once, are by far the most frequent type of ticket.
You also have the option of obtaining a prepaid bus pass, which enables limitless travel on any and all bus lines for a specified amount of time and costs a predetermined amount of money. Those who take the bus frequently may find this alternative to be a more financially prudent choice.

Auto-rickshaws are another well-liked mode of public transit in Delhi. Fares for these vehicles are typically negotiated directly with the driver. There are, however, some auto-rickshaws that do accept prepaid tickets. These tickets typically come with discounts and may be bought at a variety of locations across the city.

Auto-rickshaw passes that are pre-paid are the greatest alternative for travelers who are only going to be in Delhi for a short amount of time. You may buy this at specific spots all across the city, and it grants you access to an unlimited number of rides for a predetermined amount of time. The price of the pass is determined by the length of time the pass is valid for, however, purchasing the pass is almost always a more cost-effective option than buying individual ride tickets.

Timetables & Schedules of the Delhi Metro system

On a daily basis, the Delhi Metro system begins service at approximately 5:30 AM and continues until 11:30 PM, with some lines working until as late as 1:30 AM. During peak hours, the system operates at a frequency of five to ten minutes, while the frequency during off-peak hours is fifteen minutes, with the frequency increasing during peak hours.

What Are Other Options for Public Transportation in Delhi?

In addition to the metro, there are a number of other public transit choices available to people in Delhi. Auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws, buses, taxis, and app-based cab services are all examples of these types of transportation. Because they are typically more affordable than taxis and enable customers to travel shorter distances, auto-rickshaws are one of the most common modes of transportation. When traveling shorter distances, cycle-rickshaws are a slower but more cost-effective mode of transportation. The Delhi Transport Corporation is responsible for the operation of buses, which are a well-liked mode of transportation for longer journeys. There are also app-based cab services accessible, such as Uber and Ola, which offer a convenient and secure mode of transportation alternative for travelers. In Delhi, using the public transit system is an excellent choice for getting around the city.

public bus transportation in Delhi

Both locals and visitors will find that using the city’s buses, run by the public transit system, is a simple and affordable way to get around the busy city of Delhi. The Delhi Transport Corporation is in charge of the city’s public bus system, which consists of roughly 5,000 buses and is available to both local residents and tourists.

It is simple to board a bus anywhere in the city thanks to the Delhi Transport Corporation’s more than 8,000 bus stops, which are conveniently positioned across the metropolis.

SUBURBAN AND EXPRESS TRAINS in Delhi

Public trains in Delhi are divided into two types:

Suburban trains are short-distance trains that run within the city
Express trains are long-distance trains that connect Delhi to many other cities and states.

Suburban trains operate primarily on the Delhi Suburban Railway (DSR) . The DSR is an older network of commuter trains that run on the outskirts of Delhi. It is operated by the Indian Railways and is mostly used by commuters traveling to and from work. Express trains, on the other hand, are long-distance trains that connect Delhi to other cities and states. These trains run on a network of tracks that span across the country, allowing passengers to travel to distant cities in a matter of hours. Some of the most important express train connections from Delhi include: the Delhi-Mumbai Express, the Delhi-Kolkata Express, the Delhi-Chennai Express, the Delhi-Ahmedabad Express, and the Delhi-Agra Express.
