Basically I am from Chennai. Recently visited Delhi as a part of my trip. This was my 2nd visit to Delhi after 10+ years. The best thing that happened to me in Delhi is, Delhi metro. Let me share my experience of Delhi Metro.
Connectivity:
I just had only one day in my hand and I wanted to visit all the best places in Delhi. After asking my requirement, one of my friend suggested me to use Delhi metro. Initially that yellow line, pink line etc, was bit confusing. But after few minutes, it was a wonderful experience for me. I visited all the wonderful places in Delhi via Metro. Seriously the metro connectivity in Delhi was awesome.
Ticket Machine:
In Chennai, all the stations will have a counter to issue tickets. With the same practice, I searched for counter in one station. All I could find was a machine and metro map nearby. I got the tokens easily without any problem. Everything in that machine was simple. It was really wonderful to see many uneducated Delhites using the machine easily.
Nearby
In Chennai, most of the places will be far away from the bus terminal and railway station. One should have a long walk to reach the destination. The best thing I felt with Delhi metro was, everything was near to the metro station. For example, I wanted to see red fort. Boarded metro train. Got down at Lal Quila, stepped out. It was Redfort in front of me. Excited.
People:
Since I was new to New Delhi, I reached people in the metro station for guidance. Although everyone was walking very fast, few literally stopped and helped me to find the route. Few literally accompanied till I board the train. Literally impressed by the gesture of passengers in the metro. And I still remember one guy, who said it was pleasure to seee in Delhi. Loved it.
Concern:
Yes, I had a small concern. I booked ticket to Dwaraka sector 21 from Lal Quila to reach IGI airport. I should have stopped booking, when I didn't find the station name there. But I saw Dwaraka Sector 21 in the map which was in between IGI airport. I paid 50 bucks. After reaching New Delhi station, I came to know that airport line was different and I should take different token. Although I had token till D21, I took another token to reach Airport. Moreover that token was very costly. I wish the cost of that line should normal as other lines and also passengers should be allowed to book airport line from other line.
Yes, this is my overall beautiful experience with Delhi Metro.
Thanks for reading.
Love you people of Delhi and Delhi metro.
