Lucknow Metro is a rapid transit system serving

the city of Lucknow in the Indian state of Uttar
Pradesh.[6][7] Construction of the line begun on
27 September 2014 with the 8.5 km (5.3 mi)
stretch from Transport Nagar to Charbagh
Railway Station which began its commercial
operation on 5 September 2017, making it the
fastest built metro rail system in the country.[6]
Full operation on Red Line stretch from
Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport
metro station to Munshi Pulia metro station
began operation on 9 March 2019.
The Lucknow metro cover a distance of 22.87
km with 21 stations. It is the eighth longest
operational metro network in India after the
Delhi Metro, Hyderabad Metro, Chennai Metro,
Namma Metro, Kolkata Metro, Noida Metro and
Kochi Metro.[citation needed]
The Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC)

has hired 35 customer relation assistants to
assist commuters, especially senior citizens in
getting tickets. LMRC has also provided free
RO drinking water, toilets, escalators and lifts at
all the stations.[citation needed]
The Lucknow metro project is the most

expensive transport system in Uttar Pradesh to
date with an estimated total cost for Phase 1A
(Red Line) and 1B (Blue Line) of about $2
billion, of which ₹6,928 crore (US$920 million)
is being spent on phase 1A.[8] The Lucknow
Metro Rail Corporation, a 50:50 joint venture
between the Government of India and the
Government of Uttar Pradesh, was established
to build and operate the metro.[9]
Once completed, the Lucknow Metro will have 2

Lines (1A & 1B), the longer Red (North-South)
line, running from Chaudhary Charan Singh
International Airport to Munshi Pulia chauraha
with a total length of 22.87 km (14.21 mi), and
the Blue (East-West) line, running from
Charbagh Railway Station to Vasant Kunj.
Charbagh Railway Station will serve as the
junction station between the two lines. Further,
Metro Phase 2 and 3 will consist of 6 lines of 74
km.
The current phase that is completed is between

Munshi Pulia and Chaudhary Charan Singh
International Airport. The time that it takes to go
from one end to another is approximately 40
Minutes with a maximum fare of ₹60.
HISTORY
The original design of the metro project
included one north–south and one east–west
corridor, with links through Gomti Nagar.
Estimated costs for the north–south corridor
were ₹5,413 crore (equivalent to ₹95 billion or
US$1.3 billion in 2020), ₹3,611 crore
(equivalent to ₹63 billion or US$840 million in
2020) for the east–west corridor and ₹495 crore
(equivalent to ₹867 crore or US$120 million in
2020) for the link through Gomti Nagar.[10] The
initial layout of the east–west corridor started
from Rajajipuram and ended at Hahnemann,
after passing through Gomti Nagar via
Hazratganj and Patrakarpuram, a distance of
14 kilometres (8.7 mi). However, in 2010 the
design was changed so the corridor started
from Vasant Kunj and terminated at Charbagh,
a revised distance of 13 kilometres (8.1 mi).
In 2013, a report published by the Department
of Housing and Urban Planning of the
Government of Uttar Pradesh resulted in major
changes to the metro project.
