The HUDA City Centre station falls on the Yellow Line route, which consists of a total of 37 stations, from Samaypur Badli to HUDA City Centre. It is mostly an underground metro route with a line length of 49.02 km. The metro route was first opened on December 20, 2004, from Vishwa Vidyalaya station to Kashmere Gate and was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
On June 30, DMRC also launched a dedicated mobile application for its passengers, 'DMRC Travel'. The app will help users in generating QR tickets for travelling across the network. The app was launched by Dr Vikas Kumar, Managing Director at Metro Bhawan in the presence of senior officials.
With the launch of this app, metro commuters will now be able to buy their tickets directly via their smartphones, thereby, eliminating the need of going to ticket counters/machines.
