Delhi Metro Experiece

On my 2nd day in Delhi, I was supposed to go to Jaipur but unfortunately, tummy upset stucked me maybe due to the food I took yesterday during my sightseeing tour  in Delhi. I experienced abdominal pain and diarrhea and I felt that I couldnt survive the long trip and perhaps find a good toilet around, so I decided to take a rest and explore Delhi on my own using the Metro. 

Delhi’s Metro system is very extensive, it connects Delhi from East to west, north to south. Some tourist spots are close to MRT and gladly my hostel is located just 10 minute walk to it.When using the Metro, it is best to buy the TOURIST PASS for 250 Rupees valid for 3 days unlimited ride. 

The nearest station from my hostel was at PITAMPURA STATION. I was very impressed by the modern trains Delhi have, how I wish that Manila’s MRT/LRT could be like Delhi, they are so advanced. Indians really love to travel by trains in fact, the whole country can be travelled by rails. 

When in Delhi, you must not fail to try their Metro, its truly world class. During rush hour, I thought that Manila’s EDSA MRT/LRT is the worst because its so crowded but Delhi’s main interchange RAJIV CHOWK is the most crowded station, its like thousands of people line up for the train. When the train comes, people rushing and pushing each other just to get inside it. I was very worried about my camera so I placed it on top of my head. 

I had the chance to stop at NEW DELHI STATION where the NEW DELHI RAILWAYS STATION is located. This station connects Delhi to other cities and states in India. There are so many trains that come and go here. Railing in India is the cheapest way to move or travel depending on your desired trains and classes, some trains are like age-old and some are modern types. My friend from the hostel travelled from Chennai, South India to New Delhi for only 600 Rupees that took him 2 days to travel.

When I was inside the New Delhi Railway, there were so many people, its crazy out here. Many people line up to get tickets, it seems like take forever. When booking a ticket, you can go to their official website indianrail.gov.in for convenience but for me, its seems a bit complicated. Tourist dont have to worry because a dedicated TOURIST INFORMATION BUREAU is open exclusively for visitors who wants to train tickets. This is located at PLATFORM 1 Second Floor of the New Delhi Railway Station.
