Today we introduce yet another type of public transportation Delhi — Metro. Delhi — city metropolis, and thanks you underground quickly, without fuss and relatively inexpensive to move from one point to another.

At some stations have elevators and the average for ordinary passengers. A sign indicates that for every elevator can carry up to 1000 kg or 13 persons. However, depending on the time of day, this number can easily grow to 20-30 people. At this time the elevators Indian Indian trains are very similar, except that the roof nobody goes.

Total albeit solid, but you can quickly and comfortably get straight to the airport terminal, occasionally admiring views of the Indian capital. On this line a few stops and subway cars have a slightly different form:
Remember that the photograph in the Delhi Metro prohibited, and even janitors do you require harsh comments and to hide the camera.
By the way, if you lose your token, then getting out of the metro, you have to pay the maximum fare (30 rupees). Each chip is programmed bought depending on the distance of travel, so should not cheat. If you paid more dashed off, the turnstile at the exit in front of you just will not open, and the difference will have to pay dusty controller.
