  • Announcements regarding the same will also be made at the stations and inside the trains on Green Line during this period.
  • This is for the first time that such a special halt platform is being planned to connect two already operational Metro corridors. 
  • This halt platform will provide interconnectivity between the Green and the Pink Line at the Punjabi Bagh West Metro station of Pink Line. 
  • There will not be any ticketing facility on the interchange platforms but boarding and deboarding facilities will be available as a result of which passengers desirous of interchanging trains between Line 5 and Line 7 will be able to use the facility. 
  • The platforms will be connected by a 230-metres long Foot Over Bridge (FOB), which will connect the platforms with the Punjabi Bagh West Metro station of Pink Line.
  • The platforms will be 155 metres in length and shall be connected with the FOB by two extra large lifts (each platform) with capacity of 26 passengers each and staircases. 
  • The total height from the platform level of the new platforms to the concourse of the Punjabi Bagh West station of Pink Line is 16.75 metres. 
  • Therefore, the passage has been planned at two levels. 
  • The passengers after coming down from the staircases or lifts from the platform will again have to take stairs, two escalators or a through movement lift to finally reach the concourse area.
  • At present, there is no interconnectivity between the two corridors. 
  • This facility will be of great benefit to passengers travelling to and from the satellite city of Bahadurgarh and other outer Delhi areas such as Mundka, Nangloi etc.
