The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is looking to cut down the transit time spent in changing Metro lines in the upcoming Phase IV section by designing 11 interchange stations within 200 metres or less of each other, according to officials aware of the matter.
Officials said that this would also bring down the need for travellators at these stations. There will be only three interchange stations which will have foot overbridges (FOBs) connecting the two stations – at Azadpur, Peeragarhi, and Pitampura, with the longest interchange on Phase 4 being the 164-metre walk at Peeragarhi.
The remaining interchange stations are either all being built parallel to one another or will have minimal walks to connect the elevated station with the underground one, officials said.
