Agra Metro — commuter guide
Agra Metro Network
Agra Metro (Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation) operates a heritage and tourism-focused corridor. Line 1 connects Taj East Gate to Mankameshwar, while Line 2 is planned from Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar. The priority corridor passes within close proximity of Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and key tourist nodes, making it India's first metro explicitly designed to improve tourist mobility around a UNESCO World Heritage Site cluster.
Key areas connected
Taj East Gate (eastern Taj Mahal entrance), Basai (residential), Fatehabad Road (hotel strip), Agra College (educational zone), Agra Fort (UNESCO heritage site, western entrance), Subhash Park, Mankameshwar (Yamuna riverbank area). Line 2 will cover Agra Cantonment Railway Station (an important junction for trains from Delhi, Jaipur, and Mumbai).
Tourism and railway connectivity
Agra Cantonment Railway Station — the city's primary rail terminal for long-distance trains including the Shatabdi from Delhi and the Gatimaan Express — is included in the planned Line 2 corridor. Currently, taxi and e-rickshaw are required to connect Agra Cantt to the Line 1 heritage corridor. Taj East Gate station gives tourists direct metro access to the Taj Mahal's eastern entrance, avoiding road congestion on Fatehabad Road.
