After introducing free high-speed Wi-Fi inside Metro trains on the Airport Express Line last year, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) started offering a similar Wi-Fi facility on all the Yellow line stations on Sunday. The authority issued a statement, announcing the launch of the facility recently, and added that it aims to install high-speed Wi-Fi access points in all the metro trains traveling on the Yellow Line by 2022.
The DMRC said that it has introduced the free high-speed Wi-Fi facility in all the metro stations that fall under the Yellow Line or Line-2. This includes 37 stations, connecting Samaypur Badli and HUDA City Centre. As per the DMRC, this will help the students traveling to and from the North Delhi Campus of Delhi University access the internet on the go, without extra charges.
The metro transportation authority, in partnership with a Tech Consortium led by M/S Techno Sat, installed 330 high-speed Wi-Fi access points in the stations. Plus, the organizations involved are working to introduce the Wi-Fi facility in metro trains on the Yellow Line in a year’s time.
