The Jaipur Metro is a rapid transit system in the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.[6] Construction on the mostly elevated part of the first line, called Phase 1A, comprising 9.63 kilometres (5.984 mi) of route from Mansarovar to Chandpole Bazaar,[1] started in November 2010,[7] and was completed in 2014. The Jaipur Metro began commercial service between Chandpole and Mansarovar on 3 June 2015.[5] The Jaipur Metro Rail system is India's sixth metro rail system after those in Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Gurugram and Mumbai. The Jaipur Metro is the first metro in India to run on triple-storey elevated road and metro track. Phase 1-B, from Chandpole to Badi Chaupar, began operation on 23 September 2020.[8][9]
