Recap: [In-Person] India, May 31, Accessible Delhi Metro


Caption: Accessible Delhi Metro with :elevator: Lift, :wheelchair_symbol: Accessible signage, and dedicated seating for persons with disabilities.

Hello everyone,
I’m back with another recap of my meetup. The Accessible Delhi Metro was part of both my Accessible Metro Series and Accessible Public Transport Series.

I must say, Delhi has the best metro network in India — and it has grown significantly since 2014, when I first travelled in it. The changes over the years are hard to miss.

This meetup covered two of the most popular and crowded metro lines: the Blue Line and the Yellow Line. Below are the key highlights:

:round_pushpin: Photo of the station board at Janakpuri East Metro Station – where the meetup began.

:wheelchair_symbol: Accessibility signage at Janakpuri East – visible and well-placed.

:restroom: Lift clearly marked for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and the unwell – appreciated.

:camera_with_flash: A functional lift spotted at RK Ashram Metro Station.

:compass: A simple signage showing the way to the lift – useful for first-time users.

:train: Reserved seats inside the metro for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

:round_pushpin: Another accessible lift found at Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk) Metro Station.

:selfie: Couldn’t skip a selfie moment next to one of the accessible lifts!

:down_arrow: Lift heading towards the ground floor – essential for smooth mobility.

It was a satisfying experience exploring how one of India’s busiest metro networks is addressing accessibility. This meetup also marks my 4th city and 5th meetup in the Accessible Metro Series — more to come soon!

Thank you for your valuable time!
Anshuk.
