<br/>A Delhi Metro train chugged into Gurgaon on Monday, bringing the satellite city a little closer to the national capital and fulfilling the desire of millions of its residents for an effective transport system. Without much fanfare, the 14.47 kilometers link connecting Qutub Minar with HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon was thrown open to the public at 8 this morning as revenue services commenced simultaneously at both stations. There was no formal inaugural function. A brand-new broad gauge train, which began its first journey at 8 AM from Qutub Minar, chugged into HUDA City Centre station at around 8.30 AM. <br/> <br/>With this, Gurgaon has become the second satellite city to get Metro connectivity after Noida, where it reached last November. People of the Millennium City have been waiting for an effective transport system to travel to and from Delhi and the launch of Metro services is likely to ease some pressure on road traffic. The mood was jubilant at both the stations – where hundreds of people waited to enjoy the Metro comfort. <br/> <br/>To facilitate easy movement of passengers from Qutub Minar to Central Delhi, the Delhi Transport Corporation will run connecting bus services from Qutub Minar Metro station to Central Secretariat Metro station from 6.15 am to 11.45 pm. Officials said the details and the frequency are being worked out and it is likely that the buses will run at a<br/>frequency of 10 minutes. <br/> <br/>DMRC will initially put five trains on the corridor that will connect Gurgaon with south Delhi which will run at a frequency of 12 minutes, a DMRC spokesman said, adding the number of trains will be increased gradually. Passengers can cover the entire 14.47 kilometers distance in around 27 minutes at a rate of 18 rupees, while the minimum ticket rate is priced at 8 rupees.<br/> <br/>The DMRC has made special arrangements at all stations to help the commuters get tokens and other things on the first day on Monday. The line has 10 stations. Trains will not stop at the Chhattarpur Metro station initially as this station is likely to be opened for the public by August.<br/>
