Want to get information on the Delhi Metro network, its train timings and major tourist attractions in the capital? All such data will be available at the click of a button at select metro stations.

Delhi Metro is installing interactive digital pods at 28 metro stations to provide detailed information to its commuters about the network, stations, train timings and fare structure besides facts about the capital city.

The digital pods, which are being installed at all major stations, will provide help to people who come to Delhi from other parts of the country.

Sixty interactive pods will be installed at 28 stations on Line 1 (Dilshad Garden – Rithala), Line 2 (Jahangirpuri – HUDA City Centre) and Line 3 (Dwarka Sector 21 – Noida City Centre/Anand Vihar).

Since the pods will be internally networked, DMRC can flash instant messages for the public in case of any emergency or inordinate delays, the DMRC spokesperson, Mr Anuj Dayal, said.
