Back to EpisodesIndia's Metro Lines: Empty and Underdelivering
Description
Indias metro lines, like Mumbais Aqua Line, are struggling with low ridership due to high fares and underwhelming demand. Despite government investment, actual usage is only a fraction of what was promised, with many stations remaining empty. Factors contributing to low ridership include high costs, infrequent trains, and safety concerns. To improve metro performance, experts suggest better bus links, shorter wait times, fare caps, and seamless operations across cities.
