I liked your enthus...I reached your Blog by chance. I liked your enthusiasm about Delhi Metro but cant really help but point out that the truth about DMRC is not much enjoyable.<BR/>Delhi Metro which seems to be a the latest pride of the capital, do any of you know how feasible the idea is? All over the world the Metro, especially in elevated corridors is considered as a primitive technology...and here we are a nation in dire need for money in all possible field is spending 400 billion on an outdated idea!!! Had the metro been developed 20 years back, it wud have been logical but in present context it just seems to be a deceptive way of showing infrastructural development.<BR/>It is a totally unfeasible project which supports a miniscule amount of people in daily transport. After the Metro started working, thousands of DTC buses have been pulled out from service. Now, all those who curse the 'bad crowd' and 'killer' Blue Line in Delhi's cheapest public transport should know that the goverment never really did anything to do away with those problems. Investing in new buses, staffs could have solved the issue. But no!! instead here comes the Metro and we all are dancing about it. Two years in a row the Metro has made loss. But no newspaper is making it a headline because of goverment pressure. Everything will remain 'hush-hush' till the Commonwealth Games. After that when it will be time for new trains and maintainence DMRC will cry out that it do not have funds. <BR/>If you still are not convinced read my article in merinews. It will give you the exact figures of the issue.
