one of the most sensible and informative writing on sorry state of public transport. I was in Lucknow last month and hardly saw a passenger on metro station. We need some tram like services more than metro, it will not going to be successful in Lucknow.
Even in Delhi, money is the big factor. Delhi Government need to raise cash by implementing cess on Petroleum and use that cash to subsidize metro.
All cities need environment friendly public transport systems, both to keep the air quality acceptable and prevent unending traffic jams. Metro systems cannot be profitable on a stand alone basis, subsidies need to be planned for at the drawing board stage itself. However, for the ridership in Jaipur to be 18,000 as against the projected figure of 2,00,000 gives some insight how infrastructure projects are planned and executed, why ILFS is where it is, why PSBs have so many NPAs originating in this sector.
Where is your Twitter now, Rohit?

Govt is simply offering metros as the panacea to traffic. The real solution is population control
