Commuters on the Delhi Metro can now use free high-speed Wi-Fi to access the Internet at all its yellow line stations, as the DMRC launched the facility on Sunday. Officials said that Delhi Metro is working with a technical consortium to introduce this facility into metro trains (besides the Airport Express Line) within a year.

This service coincides with the opening of this line of 37 subway stations during the holiday season, mainly operating underground, passing through one of the most crowded areas in the city, covering officials outside Delhi, northern Delhi, central Delhi and southern Delhi We say, the last is Gurgaon.
