Dear Sir, Tha informations given in this article are confusing. In the third para there is a sentence " which carries 4.5 lakh (Rs 450,000) passengers per day" It means that 1 person has to pay only one rupee for travelling in delhi metro. and if total cost = Rs 10,500 crore and income of one day = Rs 450,000 then it wil take 640 year to get bak Rs 10,500 crore. which is a very long time and i don't think that the govt. would do such a lossy business. vinayak
