“With the start of driverless trains on the Magenta line, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will enter the elite league of 7% of the world’s metro networks, which can operate without drivers,” said a DMRC spokesperson. .
After starting driverless services on the 37 km long Magenta Line, another major corridor of the Delhi Metro, the 57 km long Pink Line (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) will also have driverless operations in mid-2021. After this, DMRC will have a driverless network length of approximately 94 kilometers, which will be approximately 9% of the world’s total driverless Metro network.
