Ahmedabad: Metro service on North-South corridor to begin on October 6
The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) will begin commercial operations of Ahmedabad Metro’s 18.87-kilometre North-South corridor on October 6, official sources said. This will be the second corridor of Phase-1 of the project that will be opened for passenger travel this month.
The Phase-1 of Ahmedabad Metro, which consists of East-West and North-South corridors, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 30. However, commercial operations on the 40.03-kilometre network began only on October 2 on the East-West Corridor.
The East-West Corridor between Vastral Gam and Thaltej Gam (total length 21.16 kilometres) was partly operational since March 2019, when PM Modi had inaugurated a 6.5-kilometre stretch of the corridor between Vastral Gam and Apparel Park.
