MetroYatra or say metro travel in India is fast, affordable, and widely used — but planning a journey isn’t always simple.
Routes can be confusing, interchanges are not always obvious, and estimating travel time is often guesswork. This becomes harder for first-time users or when traveling in a new city.
That’s the problem MetroYatra was created to solve.
Why we built MetroYatra
The goal was simple:
- make metro journeys easy to understand before people start traveling.
MetroYatra helps users:
- choose the right metro route
- understand where interchanges happen
- estimate travel time realistically
- avoid confusion at platforms and exits
It’s designed as a public utility, not a marketing product.
What makes it challenging
Building a metro route planner isn’t just about maps.
Some real challenges:
- handling different metro networks with different structures
- managing station-level and line-level data cleanly
- keeping routes fast and accurate
- making pages SEO-friendly without slowing things down
- keeping the UI simple for non-technical users
A lot of effort went into data structure, routing logic, and performance rather than visuals.
What we focus on
Instead of adding more features, the focus stays on:
- clarity over complexity
- speed over heavy frameworks
- accuracy over assumptions
MetroYatra supports all operational and upcoming metro cities in India, and the aim is to keep it reliable as networks expand.
Looking for feedback
If you’ve worked on:
- routing problems
- travel or map-based applications
- large structured datasets
- performance-focused web apps
I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions.
Happy to discuss what worked, what didn’t, and what could be improved!
