About Delhi Metro

Delhi Metro's the backbone of public transport in NCR. It runs across Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurugram, Noida, and Bahadurgarh — operated by DMRC. It's the fourth-largest metro network in the world by route length and moves over 70 lakh people every day.

There are 9 colour-coded lines, 244 stations, and close to 400 km of track. It connects your neighbourhood to office hubs, railway stations, ISBTs, and IGI Airport. Trains start at 6:00 AM, last ones leave around 11:00 PM, and during rush hour the busiest stretches run every 3 minutes.

Metro + Bus: first-mile, last-mile

Metro's great for covering long distances, but you still need something for that last stretch — a bus, auto, or e-rickshaw to get from the station to wherever you're actually going. DTC and Cluster buses are the main feeder network here. Hundreds of routes pass within walking distance of metro stations.

On this site, every metro station page lists DTC/Cluster bus stops within 1 km, how many routes each stop has, and links to individual stop pages with timings and route maps. So you can plan a full metro + bus trip — find your bus route, see which metro station's closest, and figure out where to switch.

Fares & smart card

Metro fares range from ₹11 for short hops (0–2 km) up to ₹64 if you're crossing the entire network end-to-end. Fares were revised in August 2025 — the first hike in 8 years. Airport Express Line goes up to ₹75 from New Delhi to IGI Airport.

Get a Smart Card if you commute regularly — it saves 10% on every trip and you skip the token queue. Costs ₹150 at any station counter (₹50 deposit + ₹100 balance). For even more savings, the MJQRT (Monthly Journey QR Ticket) gives 20% off during off-peak hours (before 8 AM, 12–5 PM, after 9 PM weekdays).
