Noida Metro
Welcome
to this post on Noida Metro. This can be said as the most SCENIC metro in
India, meaning, the metro crosses many areas of agricultural and
under-developed land. Thus, the metro faced very low ridership from the
beginning.

Noida
metro runs from Noida Electronic City to the depot in the greater Noida region.
The metro is called Aqua Line and is 29.7km long. The line also has an
interchange with Delhi metro at Sector 52. The metro passes through many grasslands
from Sector 83 to Sector 148. These stations have a high chance of being “unfeasible”.
The entire corridor is elevated and the metro looks kind of like a Joy Ride
through the countryside. Or a suburban train running through remote areas. So, the
Noida Metro Rail Corporation or the NMRC that operates the metro, plans to run
fast services from Sector 51 to the Depot.
Also,
Noida metro tokens will not be valid on the Delhi Metro and vice-versa. The
interchange with Delhi metro is not seamless and the stations are 300m apart
from each other. DMRC plans to build a skywalk from Sector 51 to Sector 52.
The Metro uses chinese metro rakes made by CRRC Nanjing and imported from China. The line has 19 rakes with a frequencr of 10 to 15 minutes.
As an
extension of the network, Noida is set for Phase 2 where the aqua line will be
extended to Knowledge Park 5. Let Noida metro be successful and not be called, “Disneyland
Monorail of India”.
