Delhi metro: Attention passengers! Blue line services delayed on THESE routes

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on June 15 notified passengers on delay along the Blue Line between Karol Bagh and Kirti Nagar stations.

The DMRC has not given any reason for the delay. The authority also did not indicate when the issue is likely to be resolved.

In a post on X, the DMRC stated: “Blue Line Update: Delay in services between Karol Bagh and Kirti Nagar. Normal service on all other lines.”

According to an ANI report, metro train services between Rajendra Place and Karol Bagh were also disrupted earlier today at 6 am.

Prior to this, on June 9 Delhi metro services at Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake metro station (Pink Line) were disrupted to a fire. DMRC had said that trains on the Pink Line, between Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar were being restricted to 25 km/hr, instead of the usual 40 km/hr speed.

It said: “Train services on Line-7 (Pink Line i.e. Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar), are being regulated on a small stretch since 11.20 am today due to smoke being detected in one of the technical rooms at Trilok Puri-Sanjay Lake Metro station.”

Delhi Metro: Buy tickets directly from Uber App

Meanwhile, Uber on May 19 announced that it is collaborating with the DMRC using the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), and will roll out bookings for Delhi Metro tickets at a 50 per cent discount.

Uber users in Delhi can now plan their metro rides by purchasing their QR-based tickets from the Uber app. This also gives travellers access to real-time transit information of their commute, according to the agency report.

Uber also said that there will be three other cities across India to have the same service like in Delhi in the year 2025, as per the report.

This comes after Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's visit to India in 2024, where he signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate with ONDC to advance the reach and impact of India's digital public goods.
