The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has initiated ground work of the first Metrolite corridor from Kirti Nagar to Bamnaoli village. Tenders have been floated for topographical survey and geo-technical investigation. The line will be a light rail transit system akin to a tram designed to reach areas where frequency of public transport is lower. DMRC will provide fencing on both sides of the 20-km corridor, which running from Kirti Nagar to Bamnaoli Village (ECC Dwarka Sector 25) will have 21 stations of which 16 will be spread over 11.85 km and will be at grade (run on surface alongside the road), and 5 stations spread on 6.64 km will be elevated. The distance between each station will be around 1 km. Stations are at Saraswati Garden, Mayapuri bus depot, Mayapuri, Hari Nagar, Tihar Jail, Shiv puri, Dabri Village, Sitapuri extension, Mahavir Enclave and Dwarka Court. The length of the new Metro will be 45 metres with 3 coaches and it will run at a speed of 60 kmph. The Lite Rail Corridor (LRT) stations will be open and will have an open ticketing system. The plan is to operate it like a bus transit system where a driver and conductor will be present to help the passengers, said DMRC sources.
