[rebelmouse-image 22605267 original_size=”600×400″ expand=1]
Still in development till the end of 2018, this year Lucknow metro will be at par if not better than other metro routes. With the new Nishatganj and Munshipuliya routes being tested and worked upon, Lucknow metro will be a sigh of relief for congested neighbourhoods and outskirts of the city.
The metro Phase 1 not only helped Lucknowites to commute faster but also cheaper as it decluttered the public transport system. The Phase 2 of Lucknow metro, which will make connectivity across the city even more seamless, is in the works.
