Noida Metro Expansion: This Is How Initiative Will Benefit Commuters

Commuters travelling from Delhi to Greater Noida will soon get major relief with the proposed new metro route. Currently, passengers have to switch between two metro stations - getting off at Sector-51 and then moving to NMRC Sector-52 to catch another metro to Pari Chowk. However, with the new corridor, direct travel from Botanical Garden to Sector-142 will be possible, making it easier to reach Pari Chowk and other areas in Greater Noida.
