- Via Green Line (west route):
Take the Red Line to Inderlok, change to the Green Line, travel to Kirti Nagar, and then change to the Blue Line.
- Via Pink Line (multiple options):
Take the Red Line to Netaji Subhash Place or Welcome, change to the Pink Line, then transfer at an appropriate interchange (for example Rajouri Garden, Karkarduma, Anand Vihar, or Mayur Vihar Phase I) to reach the Blue Line station closest to the final destination.
Tip: Choose the route based on the final destination — Rajiv Chowk is best for central Delhi (Connaught Place), Kirti Nagar for western destinations, and the Pink Line options for eastern targets.
