DELHI AND THE NEED FOR AN
MRTS
„ The capital city observes a phenomenal
  growth in population, being about 13.8 million
  today
„ About 11.7 million transit trips per day
„ 62%- public transport
„ 99% road based
„ 1% rail based

STUDIES FOR THE METRO
„ 1989: Rail India Technical and economic Services
  (RITES), commissioned by the State Government of
  Delhi and the Central Government of India,
  conducted feasibility studies

„ Recommended a rail- based system comprising of
  underground, elevated and surface corridors of 198.5
  kms

ADVANTAGES OF A RAIL-BASED
SYSTEM
„ High carrying capacity
„ Non-polluting and environment friendly
„ Utilizes only one-fifth energy per passenger
  km compared to road transport
„ Use less space for carrying same amount of
  traffic
„ Fast, reliable, safe and comfortable for the
  commuters
