The 300-metre long pathway links both the Sector 52 metro station of Delhi Metro's Blue Line to the Sector 51 metro station of Noida Metro's Aqua Line. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 March had flagged off the extended section of Delhi Metro’s Blue Line from Noida City Centre to Electronic City.

"Five solar-powered e-rickshaws are available at both the metro stations to ferry commuters without any charge," P D Upadhya, the Executive Director of NMRC was quoted as saying in the report. "Walking the pathway takes around 3.50 minutes, while a rickshaw ride takes around 1.20 minutes," he added.
