These egoistic academicians and professors think too much of themselves. They do not seem to have much of practical knowledge.
We as public have seen how the road transport has miserably failed in Delhi, the dingy blue lines and all have made travel miserable all these years. The Delhi Government has failed to provide the feeder service. Once it is done people will prefer Metro to the dirty Blue line buses.
It will take time for Delhi Metro to breakeven. Once Gurgaon, Noida and East Delhi are connected then feeder- service requirement will be minimal.
Further I am not quite confident about the proper method used for working the cost per Kilometer. May be some of the items to be capitalised have been added to the expenditure. I am not aware of how it has been calcutated
If some vested interests wish to kill this excellent project then none can stop them as they have done it in Calcutta.
Professors should stay away from opining on Delhi Metro if they are not able to see through the future.
It is not my intention to hurt anyone. But I am of the strong opinion that criticisms should be contructive.
