Apart from these major railway networks, Delhi is also well connected to the metro rail network to reach every corner of the city. It is the best means of travel within the city, and you will find it is very inexpensive also to travel by metro rail. It will also save a lot of time as the traffic congestion in Delhi is getting very high due to an increasing number of vehicles.

Delhi is well planned in the sense that the metro rail network is able to cover most of the important areas of the city. Also, the frequency of trains is very good when compared to other modes of transport, and you can easily get a train within 30 minutes to any other station. This is however in regular hours and during peak hours, you can see that the trains are frequent, and this is very helpful to millions of people who are dependent on public transport to move around the city.

As thousands of people come to Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station every day to move to different parts of the country, it becomes a very busy junction.
