There is no point brooding over the financial compatibility of metro.True it hasn't touched many lives yet but we also have to see that it has not expanded fully yet.So we should give some time for figures to stabilize.However I had my own apprehensions about its usefulness when it goes full throttle.The problem is that unless there is no metro within half a kilometre of one's residence it will be difficult to draw people towards it.It will be difficult to change middle class mentality because they still prefer to go in cars thanks to good roads in delhi.Metro travel would need to be ingrained in people's minds.Besides it the government can do its bit to improve traffic conditions.e.g most of the traffic jams are dues to buses parking in stands.There are no separate stands on main roads.These wll stands could be made underground so that there is no rush on the road above.This would really help in reducing traffic at main junctions.Also the big lorries could be routed out from the city through separate ring roads.These are just the few of the steps which would help in making delhi a better place.
