My Urban Transport Diary : Part I : Delhi-Noida Metro Ride

Hi All, Wish you a very good evening. I wrote this as a blog on Mypage5 site. Here it is : On 21 Jan 2010, I took my first ride on the Delhi to Noida route on Delhi Metro. The route to Noida had become active in Mid November 2009. However, after reading a few reports about trains getting stopped in between, too much rush and some cases of chaos, I was wary of taking a ride on the train. However, due to certain need, I decided to take a ride. It was not as bad as I expected. First, I went from Kashmere Gate Metro Station to Connaught Place (Rajiv Chowk) station via underground link. It was a new train coach from Bombardier company and the good thing is, there is a digital display at each train stop. Then, I changed at Rajiv Chowk station and took the train to Noida. It was a hassle free ride, nearly 25 minutes from Rajiv Chowk to Sector 18 Noida.
