Agra Metro system update — new limited service to Taj East Gate since March 2024

Current Operational Section: Yellow Line from Mankameshwar to Taj East Gate, covering 5.2 kilometers with 6 stations. Service began March 2024 with limited but useful connectivity to major tourist areas.

Operating Schedule: Daily service 6:00am to 10:00pm. Peak hour frequency is 5 minutes 48 seconds between trains. Tourist shuttle service operates from Taj East Gate every 20 minutes, 7:00am to 8:00pm for final approach to monument gates.

Network Limitations: Direct Taj Mahal station remains under construction as of late 2024. Current terminus at Taj East Gate requires 800-meter walk or shuttle to reach main entrance gates. Full Yellow Line extension to central Agra expected by mid-2025.

Ticketing: Token-based system with ₹10-30 fares depending on distance. QR code tickets available through mobile app. Stations include basic facilities but limited accessibility infrastructure — Confirm elevator status before travel if needed.
