Majura Gate Interchange Guide
Majura Gate is the single point where Surat Metro's two corridors cross. Every journey between the Red Line (Sarthana - Dream City) and the Green Line (Bhesan - Saroli) passes through this station. The platform-to-platform transfer takes 3 to 5 minutes through a dedicated walkway inside the paid zone.
Where the Lines Meet
Red Line (Corridor 1)
Majura Gate is station #13 of 21 on the Red Line. Northbound trains head toward Sarthana (12 stations, ~20 min). Southbound trains continue to Dream City (8 stations, ~16 min). This line includes the 6.47 km underground section between Labheshwar Chowk and Chowk Bazar.
Green Line (Corridor 2)
Majura Gate is station #11 of 18 on the Green Line. Westbound trains travel to Bhesan (10 stations, ~18 min). Eastbound trains head toward Saroli (7 stations, ~14 min). The entire Green Line is elevated, so trains maintain consistent speed without tunnel restrictions.

Both Red Line and Green Line platforms sit at elevated level. A covered transfer corridor connects the two platforms without requiring you to exit the fare-paid zone or pass through AFC gates again.

Walking between the Red Line and Green Line platforms takes 3 to 5 minutes depending on crowd density. During peak hours (8:00-11:00 AM and 4:00-8:00 PM), trains on both lines arrive every 4 minutes, so the total transfer including waiting rarely exceeds 7 minutes. Signage in both English and Gujarati marks the transfer corridor at every turn.

No. A single token, Smart Card, or Tourist Card covers the entire journey regardless of how many lines you use. Fare is calculated on total distance from your entry station to your exit station.
