Delhi Metro, Airport Line - It is a metro line joining Delhi Airport with New Delhi Railway Station. This infrastructure was build for its utilization in common wealth games. As the motto was to reduce traffic and to provide good means of transport to visitors coming from different nations. Therefore price set for transportation was high and justifiable.
Post commonwealth planning : Motto of developing such a huge public transport infrastructure by spending crores of rupees now changed to eliminate traffic, having a more fast and reliable mode in a more environment friendly way.
But Delhi govt. is among st the king in crowd of donkeys, who is wasting such a huge infrastructure and converting it into garbage. Still the ticket worth Rs.80 and Rs.150 for travelling even for 5 or 13 km. As the fare is high therefore few peoples travel in the Airport-New Delhi Metro line. I was shocked after finding just me in the Airocity metro station, and only 1 or 2's in the metro bogie. As less traffic in these lines leads to lower utilization and low generation of funds which has to be accounted from profit earned from other sectors.
The Govt. of Delhi must reduce the fare in this line, so to increase its usage and to maximize their profit. After all the maintenance and running cost has to be paid from the accounts of tax payers in absence of fund generation from infrastructure.
May GOD bless our Govt. Advisers & Bureaucrats in taking steps which will lead to optimum utilization of such resources, and making our country a better place to live.
Jai Hind..
