Delhi Metro carries more than six million passengers every day, but the trip between a Metro station and the commuter’s home, workplace or school remains a major challenge. A WRI India study says that commuters spend 40 percent of their total travel time and 48 percent of their travel costs on a stretch that accounts for only 18 percent of the distance needed to access mass transit such as the Delhi Metro.
The Metro has changed daily travel across the capital and has become a key part of the city's transport system. Yet traffic congestion, air pollution and the economic cost of gridlock continue to affect Delhi.
