This is how infrastructure should be. In Bangalore my grandchildren will see such an extensive network. In my lifetime if they complete 2 lines that itself will be a miracle

i am born and brought up in Delhi but i get to know this city's importance when i was living out of Delhi and it was really a hustle for me to travel,
Delhi metro made travelling so easy one can't imagine

I will never know the difference between the indigo, magenta, violet colours if Delhi Metro isn’t there.

I remember our school organising trips for students to experience Metro's first stretch. I was in 2nd/3rd standard

[Joey-pjqd]

I still remember how excited I was to sit in the Metro in Delhi for the first time when I was in 2nd std.
And how every other Indian relative tell us in weddings " Arey chhota sa baccha tha jab dekha tha, ab to kitna bada ho gaya hai "
Same applies to Delhi metro as well
Capital for a Reason

Blessed to be serving in DMRC as Tom operator. Still remember in 2006 when my cousin joined DMRC he took me and my little brother to get a ride in metro. I was like 5 at that time. He is DGM (Director general manager) now in DMRC. Means he holds a whole line under him.

While Delhi metro has grown, new cities like Hyderabad, Nagpur, Cochin, lucknow they also need this level of detailed planning and execution so that they don’t have to go through this. Amount of petrol a normal delhite saves in travelling is super amazing
