The metro is currently running on a 9.7 kilometer long route in Jaipur, covering eleven station from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar. The first train will depart from Mansarovar and Badi Chaupar at it’s regular time 6:20 AM. However, the last train will depart from the two corners of jaipur Metro at 10:00 PM, instead of 9:20 PM.
