I Love Delhi Metro
Although the Delhi Metro is not the first in India but it can be said to be the first of its kind in the country. Constructed with utmost architectural brilliance and state of art facilities the Delhi metro is very different from the other metro rails in the world. Apart from being technologically sound the one thing that has been given prime importance within the Delhi metro is security.
The Delhi Metro railway is being constructed in Phases. Most of the routes under Phase 1 were completed before 2010. The second phase known as Phase II covers almost 79 stations and was successfully completed in 2010. The other projects in the pipeline are Phase III and IV which have a network spanning over 413 km and are expected to be ready by the end of 2020.
The Delhi metro stations have small kiosks which provide food and beverages to the commuters. Some stations like Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, etc have big food outlets like McDonalds, Nirula's, Cafe coffee Day, etc. IRCTC has also opened a set of food kiosks which will serve traveling passengers with snacks and delicacies at reasonable rates. The kiosk will be called as "Food Track" and will offer light snacks and mini meals.
