Agra Metro Route, Stations, Fare & Timings

Agra Metro Yellow Line routes, station list, ticket price, smart card and first–last train — for residents, students and Taj Mahal visitors.

Why Agra Metro matters

Agra is one of India’s most visited heritage cities. A metro that reaches the Taj Mahal belt, Agra Fort, colleges, ISBT and the cantonment railway station changes how locals commute and how tourists move between monuments.

The Agra Metro is a rapid-transit project owned and operated by the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC). Phase 1 is planned as two corridors totalling about 30 km: the Yellow Line from Sikandra to Taj East Gate, and the Blue Line from Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the priority Yellow Line stretch on 6 March 2024. That first public section links Taj East Gate with Mankameshwar and put Agra on India’s metro map. Remaining Yellow Line stations towards Sikandra, and the fully elevated Blue Line, continue as construction and trial-run work.

Agra Metro pages explain routes, stations, fares and passenger rules in plain language. Fares, train intervals and opening dates can change, so check the station display before you travel.

For visitors, the practical question is simple: which station is closest to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, a hotel on Fatehabad Road, or Agra Cantt railway station? For residents, the questions are jobs, last-mile parking, women’s safety, and whether a monthly smart card is cheaper than tokens. Those answers live in the pages below.

Metro facts passengers actually use

Typical hours

Public explainers commonly list service around 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Festival days can differ. Check the station clock before you travel with a flight or train connection.

How fares work

Agra Metro uses a station-count slab. A one-station hop is often listed near ₹10, with higher slabs as you cross more stations. NCMC / smart cards are widely described as offering about 10% off token fare.

Rolling stock

Yellow Line trains are Alstom MOVIA-family three-coach sets, similar in look to Kanpur Metro, on standard gauge with 750 V DC third-rail electrification.

Heritage city rules

The project sits inside the Taj Trapezium Zone. Construction needed clearances from TTZ, ASI and the Supreme Court. That is why parts of the line run underground near monuments.

Interchange future

Agra College / St John’s area is the planned Yellow–Blue interchange in several public network maps. Until Blue Line opens, Yellow Line is the only passenger service.

Who should use this site

Tourists planning Taj + Fort in one day, students around SN Medical and Agra College, ISBT bus travellers, and candidates tracking Agra Metro recruitment.
