Politicians will step in whenever they sense an opportunity

Metros are major capital assets of cities. Urban Metro Projects have proven to be very useful in decongesting large cities.
The metro system is currently operational in 7 cities across India. Delhi is leading with 213 kms of operational length and the construction for another 140 kms is in progress. Kolkata is the oldest system in India, whereas Chennai is the latest entrant in the league of Metro System in India. Gurgaon is the first metro project under Public-Private Partnership mode.
Delhi is the cheapest. Yet if you believe the grandstanding CM of Delhi, it is supposedly too expensive

Kolkata Metro is the cheapest with a maximum fare of Rs. 25. In Delhi, a distance of 9-12 km costs only Rs. 16. Even a distance greater than 44 km will cost a person taking the Delhi Metro only Rs.30 for a one-way ride. Jaipur Metro, which began operations this month, has an introductory fare for the first six months. The highest fare is just Rs. 15.
