Transport
editIn 2013, Rapid Metro was introduced to Cyber City, connecting it with Delhi Metro.[1] Six operational stations are within the Cyber City. The National Highway 48 (NH-48) runs through Cyber City and a project to construct a 16-lane expressway is also in progress.[3] A flyover between Cyber City and MG Road was opened in 2015 to reduce traffic congestion.[4] The Indira Gandhi International Airport is located close to the Cyber City. Delhi Metro's Phase 4 includes the extension of the Yellow Line from its current Southern terminus at Huda City Centre (now known as Millennium City Centre) further south of Cyber City. This will ensure another option for people staying in the heart of Delhi at Rajiv Chowk to directly access this district ensuring better connectivity to the suburban business centres from Central Delhi.
