New Metro lines and tourist destinations

Following really helpful advice on this forum regarding the fact that the new INA metro station will be excellent for getting to Dilli Haat, would be grateful for thoughts on which other markets and other tourist attractions will soon be able to be accessed easliy by the metro rather than taxi/auto
Mnay thanks

Nice post, Amalfi.

yes, brilliant, what a difference that will make. Thanks very much, I'm sure this will be useful info for many travellers

thank you !! Very helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing the Connaught stop AFYER the rubble is cleared.

Not just CP, whole of Delhi is littered with rubbles & debris, all in the name of beautifying the city ahead of Common Wealth games. Going to CP & negotiating the dug up patches is like going for a dangerous trek!!!!
Any way back to the topic, the metro construction has more & less stuck to its original plans and things are almost on schedule.
The Central Secretaria metro staion is at walking distance from Rashtrapati Bhawan & India gate.

In June 110 heat, we sat in a terrible traffic jam coming from the south into New Delhi (started just after Faridabad). Then we saw a sign that said something like "Working today for progrress tomorrow" (I'll look for the photo.) I'm not sure that was of much comfort, especially to those people in cars without air conditioning!

You must have got caught in traffic jam near Badarpur border due to metro rail construction work. That line is going to be operational by August and traffic would become very smooth. Metro has indeed changed the life in this city.

Thank you for identifying, Jyot. If i can figure out way to post digital photos of that traffic jam, will do! Yes, you are exactly right, there was work both on the ground and above us. The car driver predicted it would all be done by summer's end, and other projects done by September prior to Commonwealth games. I love Delhi--this is a good reason to return for a longer visit. ANd gtaht new airport is going to be excellent!

" I love Delhi " Very few travellers say this rebeccam, the new airport terminal is really awsome, got to see it to believe and next time you come you will take the metro airport express line, in CP in 22 minutes!!!!

H1!

We, a group of a few senior citizens, will be arriving at Delhi Airport around 10 AM in the late September, 2010. From Airport,we need to go to : (1) Old Delhi Railway Station, or (2) Lajpat Nagar and/or (3) Anand Vihar ISBT. We understand that Delhi Metro will be fully operational before CWG. If it is so, can we take Metro from the Domestic Airport to go to those places? Please suggest route, name of the destination stations etc. Thanks.

Metro has changed the travel time and reduced the parking woes in the markets of Delhi. Hopefully when all these metro become functional by September and october accessibility and travel time will decrease drastically.

Are all these routes open to passengers now?

Which Route ?

I want to know about the routes given by AMALFI.Its an excellent and highly informative note.
