Travel tips

The Yellow Line is the busiest line in the network — expect heavy crowds at Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, and the Gurugram stations during office hours. If you're going to Connaught Place, exit at Rajiv Chowk (not New Delhi, which is further east). For airport access, interchange at New Delhi to the Airport Express.
