Delhi Metro to provide bus services to Central Vista visitors from tomorrow

Delhi Metro will provide bus services for those who want to visit India Gate or Central Vista in the national capital from September 9. The facility will be available initially for a week, said DMRC on Thursday.

Visitors can board the buses from Bhairon Road, Raj Ghat, Connaught Place (near Palika parking), and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

"Delhi Metro will provide bus service for those visiting India Gate/Central Vista from September 9, 2022, after the inauguration of Central Vista," DMRC added in a tweet.


The DMRC will operate six buses on this route for the visitors after the inauguration. The buses will be available for visitors from 5 p.m. and the last pick-up will be available at 9 p.m.

The DMRC electric buses will pick up the visitors from Bhairon Road and will drop them off at Gate number 1 of the National Stadium C hexagon.

"The electric buses deployed will pick up visitors from Bhairon Road and will drop off at Gate number 1 of the National Stadium C hexagon from where the India Gate or Central Vista can be accessed by walking. This facility will be available initially for a week," said the Delhi Metro in another tweet.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the newly-christened Kartavya Path -- a stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate that will have red granite walkways with greenery all around, refurbished canals, state-wise food stalls, new amenity blocks and vending kiosks--today.

The inauguration ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. when Modi will unveil the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the revamped stretch.
