We couldn’t feel anymore proud of the fact that while also making headlines, Delhi Metro is saving countless lives & providing innumerable job opportunities! How, you ask? Scroll down & check out why we’re so proud of our Delhi Metro!
30 Second Window:
- Delhi Metro started way back in 2005 & has since grown into the 7th largest connected system in the world! The system is such that it helps in reducing 6,30,000 tonnes of pollution per annually!
- With the Pink line starting in a full fledged manner by the end of this year, the DMRC will soon increase its ridership & distance manifold!
- And the best part? With the new Pink added to the serpentine system of the Metro, there will be an addition to the already 200 odd trains running.
- Which probably means that the total distance covered by the metro is gonna soar much higher than what we calculated!
