Direct Metro Links to Gandhinagar, GNLU, and GIFT City Announced.

Starting February 16, passengers traveling on the Gujarat Metro Rail will enjoy a more convenient and direct route to Gandhinagar Sector 1, Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), and Gift City from APMC station, eliminating the need to switch trains at Motera.

Officials from the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation confirmed that they have received approval from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety to enhance train frequency and introduce direct connectivity. This change means commuters can now travel seamlessly to their destinations without the previous transfer at Motera Stadium or GNLU.

Additionally, bus services have been introduced to connect GNLU station with Gift City offices at 30-minute intervals, with stops at Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU). Previously, passengers traveling to Gift City had to switch trains at GNLU, with a wait time of 5 to 10 minutes.

With the new system in place, trains to Gandhinagar Sector 1 and Gift City will now run every 30 minutes during peak hours and on an hourly basis during off-peak periods. However, passengers traveling from Vastral or Thaltej Gam will still need to change trains at the Old High Court station. The east-west corridor (Thaltej Gam to Vastral Gam) offers a continuous journey to Gandhinagar on the same ticket.

These updates are part of ongoing efforts to improve Metro connectivity and make travel more efficient for commuters in Gujarat.
