The Pink Line once fully operational would cover about 58 kilometers on one side and is set leave behind Blue Line in terms of the numbers of station and kilometers covered.
People travelling between East Delhi and South Delhi are soon up for a faster way of transportation as the Pink Line of Delhi Metro connecting Mayur Vihar Pocket-1 to South Delhi's Lajpat Nagar is expected to be soon opened for public.
The Pink Line once fully operational would cover about 58 kilometers on one side and is set leave behind Blue Line in terms of the numbers of station and kilometers covered. However even the partially opened phase will prove to be a big relief for the commuters travelling to Nizamuddin station and Sarai Kale khan ISBT as both of them lack metro connectivity.
The newly built line would also put all major market places of South on the Metro map including Lajpat Nagar market, Sarojini market and South Extension market. However the 9.7 km long stretch which is set to be available for general public will also take away lots of footfall from the usually crowded Blue Line.
Moreover the Mayur Vihar-I metro station will become an interchange station, connecting the Pink Line with the Blue Line making it a big hub in East Delhi, providing connectivity to South Delhi and easing travel to East Delhi areas such as Laxmi Nagar, Anand Vihar and Vaishali in Ghaziabad via the Blue Line. Therefore, instead of taking a long route through Rajiv Chowk or Mandi House metro stations, commuters will be able to take a train to Noida City Centre from the Blue Line station.
Trial runs on the section covering five metro stations the stations include Mayur Vihar Pocket-I, Mayur Vihar-I, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Ashram and Vinoba Puri.
According to a report, around 30,000 people use the Mayur Vihar-I metro station and once it starts to offer interchange facility, DMRC expects the number to rise up to one lakh.
The section of this line also constitutes the longest distance between station as the distance between Mayur Vihar-I Metro station and the next station, Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station measures the longest on Delhi Metro map.
