Ahmedabad Metro connects the city on two corridors: North–South, from APMC to Motera Stadium, and East–West, from Thaltej Gam to Vastral Gam. For a visitor, Old High Court is a useful point to know because it links the two lines. Rudra Royale offers rooms for a metro trip around Ahmedabad.

Which Ahmedabad Metro stations are closest to the hotel?
Old High Court, Stadium and Gandhigram are useful stations to consider when planning a journey from Rudra Royale.
Old High Court is the most useful of the three for changing corridors: it is the interchange between the North–South and East–West lines. Stadium and Gandhigram are additional stations to consider when planning your route, but the corridor and destination you need will determine which station suits your journey.
How do you read the Ahmedabad Metro map?
Read Ahmedabad Metro’s map as two lines that meet at Old High Court. GMRC operates the system; its Phase I commercial service began in March 2019, initially on a 6.5 km viaduct.
The North–South Corridor runs between APMC and Motera Stadium. The East–West Corridor runs between Thaltej Gam and Vastral Gam. If your trip requires a change between those corridors, use Old High Court as the interchange.
The East–West line passes through stations including Kalupur, Shahpur, Gujarat University and Thaltej. Kalupur is on this corridor, so it is a point to look for when using the map to plan a connection around that station.
What are the fares, ticket options and operating hours?
GMRC provides several ways to book a ticket, including its Ahmedabad Metro App, ticket vending machines, NCMC cards and kiosks. QR tickets are available through the official GMRC Mobile App, with UPI, debit card, credit card and net banking payment options.
GMRC says tokens and Common Smart Cards are valid for travel within Ahmedabad Phase 1 stations, not for travel between Phase 1 and Phase 2. Passengers without a valid ticket in the paid area may face a ₹50 penalty plus the system’s maximum fare.
Journey times displayed by GMRC are estimates and can change, so allow extra time when planning a connection. Check the official site before you go for current ticketing and service details.
How can you use the metro to reach visitor areas?
Start by identifying the corridor serving your destination, then check whether your trip needs a change at Old High Court. The North–South line ends at Motera Stadium, while the East–West line links Thaltej Gam and Vastral Gam; the station names give you the basic structure for tracing a journey.
For a trip around Kalupur, look for Kalupur Metro Station on the East–West Corridor. GMRC also provides station information for connections with railway stations, the airport, BRTS, AMTS and GMC buses; the guide to getting from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport to central Ahmedabad covers the airport leg.
Stations include lifts and escalators, public washrooms and ticket vending machines. Listed accessibility features include audible lift messages, Braille plates, flashing system maps and active-line diagrams, plus information displays on trains.
