New Delhi. India has made a major achievement in the field of urban transportation. After the launch of the new metro corridor, the country has now become the third largest metro network in the world. In this matter, India is now behind only China and America. The rapidly expanding metro expansion has given a new shape to the transport system in the big cities of the country.
Huge metro network spread in 26 cities
At present, more than 1,143 km long metro network is operating in about 26 cities in the country. This network is making travel easier for millions of people every day. According to estimates, about 1.15 crore passengers use metro services every day. Of these, the maximum number of passengers travel in Delhi Metro, where about 55 percent of the total passengers travel.
Speed increased due to new corridor
Recently, two new metro corridors were started in the capital, which has further expanded the metro network. These projects were inaugurated by PM Modi. With the launch of new routes, the reach of Metro in Delhi and National Capital Region has become stronger. Now there is about 416 km long metro network in Delhi and NCR itself, which includes about 303 metro stations. Due to this, lakhs of people are getting a lot of convenience in their daily journey.
Urban transport gets new direction
Experts believe that the rapid expansion of the metro network is a major achievement for the country’s urban transportation. This will not only reduce traffic jams but is also expected to reduce pollution. Metro projects are planned in many more cities in the coming years, which is likely to make India’s metro network even larger.
