10 METRO SURGE
Metro Rail in India is on a roll, quite literally. Starting with
just 8 kms in 2002, we now have 425 km of metro lines
operational across 10 cities, with the network expected to
cross 700 km in the next few years. With vast sections of city
streets dug up, new metro lines opening up every few months,
land acquisition controversies, talks of vertical gardens and
solar-powered stations, the metro rail movement has recast
the city’s infrastructure and lifestyle
