As more than a lakh people used the Metro every day to visit the fair last year, Delhi Metro hopes that the number will increase significantly this year as well. Metro commuters can also purchase tickets to the fair at all 132 Metro stations here.

Trains will run at a peak hour frequency of 2 minutes every day from 8 am to 9 pm which means 23 additional trains will be pressed into service.
