Tell about Delhi Metro and historical facts of it ?

Oh, did we mention cash back offers and reward points? Happy travelling!

The DMRC added another feather to its cap in May last year. With an elevation of 15.6 metre, escalators at Janakpuri West on Blue and Magenta line have broken India's tallest escalator record.

Prior to Janakpuri West this record was held by the Mumbai Terminal 2 airport where the escalators had a height of 11.6 metres.

Delhi metro commuters are always in a hurry and DMRC realises that. Apart from the emergency stop button, the DMRC escalators also have a sari guard feature that deflects loose clothing from getting trapped.

The height of Janakpuri-West escalators is equal to that of a five-storey building. The horizontal length is equal to 35.3 metres.

Apart from scrubbing your shoes clean on them, these broad yellow strips running on the Delhi Metro platforms serve a better purpose.

One of the busiest stations, Kashmere gate located on the Yellow, Violet and Red line is the only interchange station in Delhi that connects three metro lines.

These yellow tactile strips are the pathways for the visually impaired commuters, leading them directly to the lifts and to the exits.

The unique design of Ashram metro station was developed due to space and land shortage that was acting as an impediment to DMRC’s project.

All stations have ramps built right at the entrance to help wheelchair-bound people to roll themselves around the station

some parts of the station are not even inside it but located in nearby plots that DMRC was forced to find.

This again shows how methodologically the Delhi Metro stations have been built.

The station design takes up only 151.6 metres of space against the average of 265 metres. According to DMRC officials, it is the smallest station in Delhi and probably all over the world.

While the station was supposed to be just like any other underground station; the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation realized that 40% of the planned layout of the station was unavailable for construction. The station box couldn’t be relocated due to the Ashram flyover on one side and apartments on the other.

The Delhi Metro network consists of a total of 200 trains covering a total distance of 69,000 kms every day.

The Chawri Bazaar metro station became the second deepest metro station after opening of Hauz Khas with a depth of 25 metres below the surface.

To put things into perspective, the earth's total circumference is 40,075 kms!

In our own rush of reaching our destination, we hardly notice that Delhi Metro is one of the very few punctual things that have happened to Delhi, or India perhaps!

located in Old Delhi and close to capital’s historical monuments like Jama Masjid and Red Fort, the metro station is known as a blend between technology and historical places of Delhi.

Located at a height of 23.6 metres, Dhaula Kuan metro station located on the Delhi Airport Express Line is the highest point of the Delhi Metro Network and is as tall as a seven storey building.

The Metro Museum at Patel Chowk is the only museum about a Metro Railway in the entire South Asian region and is the only one to be located on a functional metro station.

The meaniong of the staement was not that metro stations are clean because of our PM but he will be happy because of good implementation of swach bharat abhiyan

The Museum is even located in close proximity to other museums such as National Museum, Philately Museum and Parliament Museum.

he reason why there are no dustbins on the metro station is a very simple and logical one... "Security" dustbins can be and have been in the past , used to hide explosive devices
