Delhi Metro second most unaffordable in the world: Report

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Wednesday said that the study by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) — which found the Capital’s Metro system to be the second most unaffordable transport network in the world — was ‘misleading’, based on ‘incorrect information’.

DMRC managing director Mangu Singh on Wednesday said that the study has conveniently chosen only a few Metro networks that helps CSE prove their point. He also said that the calculations also based on incorrect information. “It is like saying that I am the strongest among people who cannot lift above 10 kilos of weight. Why weren’t the bigger Metro systems such as London and Paris taken into account? How can a 10km network somewhere be compared with a 300km system such as in Delhi,” Singh said.
