8 Things You Didn't Know About The Pink Line Which Make It Super Awesome!

Delhi without Metro is like pizza without cheese or waffles without Nutella - simply unimaginable! Ever since it came into being, the Delhi Metro has been a saviour to all Dilliwalas, so much so that we just can’t imagine a day without it and the Pink Line is exactly what we needed to make every part of Delhi fully accessible. Now that the metro services may be restarted soon, scroll on to know everything about our bae AKA Pink Line!

1. You Can Finally Take That ‘5 Minute Aur’ Wala Sleeping Time 

For all those who use #Travellers on all their social media posts ‘cause they *literally* spend half of their lives travelling and changing metros, it’s time to rejoice because the Pink Line is finally here! Connecting three of the biggest stations - Azadpur, NSP and Rajouri Garden, this line will reduce your travel time between Dwarka 21 (Blue Line) and Rithala (Red Line) by over 16 minutes and Rajouri Garden and Azadpur by nearly 23 minutes *woohoo*. Praise the Lord!

2. The New & Improved Version Of Tarzan, The Wonder Car

The delightful Pink Line features the new UTO (Unattended Train Operations) or driverless trains ‘cause of the highly precise automation technology that it uses *NAICE*, giving us the real-life feels of Tarzan, the Wonder Car - pretty cool, right?!  

3. Time To Finally Attend Those Morning Lectures?

This wonder train (yes, we’re calling it that from now on), for the first time ever will connect the North and South Campuses of Delhi University *say whaaaa*, which means that you can reach your college, be it in North or South Delhi, and vice versa, in just 40 minutes *YAY*!

4. This One’s As High As A 7-Storey Building

Another cool thing about the Pink Line is that this line has the highest track where the trains will run at a height of 23.6 metres, which is literally equivalent to a seven-storey building *WOAH*! That’s not all - with a 59 kms long track, this line has the longest route too. Isn’t this awesome?!

5. Our Beloved NSP Deserves It All

NSP has been THE food hub for all the North Diliwalas for years now but due to the lack of better connectivity, the rest of the city was left untouched by its magic *sad sigh*. But not anymore! For all those travelling from North and West Delhi who actually change 3 metros to reach this place, y’all can now breathe a little easier ‘cause with the Pink Line in action, NSP’s metro station will bring this place closer to the two interchange stations - Azadpur and Rajouri Garden. In simpler words, you guys will be able to save at least 30 minutes of travel time, how’s that for some good news?

 In simpler words, you guys will be able to save at least 30 minutes of travel time, now that’s a big relief!  

6. ‘Tis Time To Open The (Disabled-Friendly) Gates

As if we didn’t have enough reasons to love this new line, the lovelies at DMRC have given us something more to fawn over! All the 12 stations which are now open for public use will be using  screening doors and disabled-friendly gates, substantially amping up the safety level for all its travellers. You go, DMRC!

7. Airport Feels At The Metro Stations - Cool, Eh?

Seems like South Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar Metro Station will soon become the second Rajiv Chowk! The Lajpat Nagar Metro Station is gonna be the 2nd biggest interchange station of Delhi Metro as soon as the work for Phase IV comes to an end. With 3 lines intersecting at this station, this station will surely become one of the busiest stations in Delhi! 

8. Airport Like Feels At The Metro Stations, Cool Eh?

Dilliwallas now get to use travelators outside the airport! Yep, you heard us right, the Rajouri Garden interchange station, connecting Dhaula Kuan and South Campus, has 4 travelators. Also, the coaches have colour-coded seats with LCD screens displaying the upcoming metro stations. This just keeps getting better, doesn’t it?

With all these perks and features, how psyched are you to ride Delhi Metro’s Pink Line again?
