Default Delhi ki shaan Metro Rail hai ya Nahi?

Hi All,

The Government of India and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, in equal partnership have set up a company named Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. under the Companies Act,1956.

1) Delhi has all the ideal dress-up for an excellent Mass Rapid Transit System to be brought in. It has wide roads where road possession for construction is not difficult.

2) Delhi has an unassailable advantage in its excellent railway network comprising two rings and six spurs totaling about 120 KM within the urban area.

3) Some 600,000 commuters already use the metro daily, cutting road traffic and helping reduce Delhi's pollution by a third.

4) "The Delhi Metro is a perfect example of how a government project can be done properly

5) "The metro has cut travel time by almost 75 percent. Earlier people travelled from home by bus, which cost them Rs 80. Now they pay only Rs 14.


In my opinion, after facing some difficulties during the implementation phase all Delhites are now very much enlightened with the introduction of people friendly MRTS.

Aap logo ki kya rai hai Delhi Metro ke baare mein.

Hi Mrignayni,

Nice thread you have started.

The Delhi Metro wins our heart.It has made life comfortable and easier for DelhiWasi. The metro has helped commuters to avoid the dust and crime of Delhi roads, traffic rush, crowded buses etc.

Few things i like very much about Delhi Metro,
1) Unlike Kolkata Metro It is not fully underground.

2) All metro stations are well-lit, air-conditioned and the system map, ticket and fare information charts are displayed prominently inside the station.


3) Parking of personal vehicles is allowed at most of the metro stations.

4)The walls of the station are covered in murals done by artists. Kiosks selling coffee, snacks , cell-phone cards, home-loans etc. are a common sight.

5) Elevators are provided for entrance and exit from the platform, but physically challenged people ,senior citizens and those in need can use lifts.

6)The train frequency on average is quiet good.

7) Security guards are provided inside each metro train, so travelling late in the evening is quite safe.

Types of Ticket as per individual requirement like Amart Card,Tourist Card or token

One thing I personally don't like that no toilet facilities inside most of the metro station.Neverheless Metro is a rocking.Definitely,it is shaan of Delhi.

Hi
@Mrignayani
Nice Thread

Delhi ki shan Metro Rail hi hai....isimme koi shak nahi hai..
I only find advantages and not any disadvantages with this Metro Railway
There is cleanliness puntuality and discipline which is needed .
Metro Railway is well secured as security plays a greater part while travelling whether its for a lady or a man.ITs needed and Metro Railway nicely provides that.
..I agree with you......

Hey
Good Thread!!
I had been to Delhi quite a lot of times and I find it to be the best way out in Delhi as communication and to be very honest the transportation system in Delhi is panicstriken.,they charge anything as they feel like, so Delhi ki kudiyon dont mind, this thing is Delhi is very bad and a truth.So I prefer the Metro which is indeed like "Delhi ki Shaan"
