Delhi Metro starts trial run on new route

Saturday , Dec 12, 2009

The Delhi Metro Saturday began its trial run on the 6.17 km long Yamuna Bank-Anand Vihar route in the eastern part of the capital. The route is expected to be used by at least 100,000 passengers every day.

The route is expected to open for public by the end of this month or early next month, said an official of the Delhi Metro Rail Corp (DMRC).

The trial run was between the Lakshmi Nagar and Preet Vihar stations early in the day. "The trains will run up to Preet Vihar for some days before the trial runs are extended till the Anand Vihar station."

The Anand Vihar Metro Station has been planned as a major integrating terminal that will bring together three modes of public transport - Metro, Indian Railways and the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT).
