| Travel option | Approx. time | Approx. daily cost | Best for |

The Metro Route
There is no direct metro from Sector 86 to Cyber City. Most people take a short cab or auto to the nearest Rapid Metro or Yellow Line station, then change trains to reach Cyber City. The Rapid Metro is the small loop that runs inside Cyber City itself, so it drops you very close to most offices.
The metro is the cheapest and most predictable option. On a rainy day, when roads are jammed, the metro still runs on time. If your office is close to a Rapid Metro station, this is usually the best daily plan.
Road Routes You Can Try
Most cars from Sector 86 use the Dwarka Expressway or the NH-48 route, then join the Cyber City approach roads. The Dwarka Expressway is newer and smoother but can get crowded near the Delhi border. NH-48 is older but has more entry and exit points.
The right route depends on where you start in Sector 86 and where you park in Cyber City. Try two or three routes over a week and pick the one that feels calm, not just fast.
Best Time to Leave Home
Traffic in Gurgaon builds up between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. If your office allows it, leaving by 7:15 AM can cut your travel time by 15 to 20 minutes. On the way back, leaving before 6:00 PM or after 8:00 PM helps you skip the worst jam.
