    Planning for the metro started in 1984, when the Delhi Development Authorityand the

    Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for developing a multi-modal transport

    system for the city. The Government of Indiaand the Government of Delhi jointly set upthe Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in 1995. Construction started in 1998, and the

    first section, on the Red Line, opened in 2002, followed by theYellow Line in 2004, the

    Blue Line in 2005, its branch line in 2009, the GreenandViolet Linesin 2010.Subsequently, these lines have been extended and new lines are under construction in

    In India, the term rickshaw usually refers to cycle rickshaws, although their number is

    decreasing. In cities where both pulled rickshawsandauto rickshawsare present, the

    term auto is often used to refer to the auto rickshaw to avoid confusion

    Delhi has significant reliance on its transport infrastructure. The city has developed ahighly efficient public transport system with the introduction of the Delhi Metro,[1] which

    is undergoing a rapid modernization and expansion.[2] There are 5.5 million registered

    vehicles in the city, which is the highest in the world among all cities most of which donot follow any pollution emission norm (within municipal limits), while the Delhi

    metropolitan region (NCR Delhi) has 11.2 million vehicles. Delhi and NCR lose nearly

    42 crore (420 million) man-hours every month while commuting between home and

    office through public transport, due to the traffic congestion.[3] Therefore serious efforts,including a number of transport infrastructure projects, are under way to encourage usage

    of public transport in the city

    Rail transport

    Rail based transport in the city has started to gain-popularity with the introduction ofDelhi Metro. Ring-Railway, which runs parallel to the Ring-Road system is another rail-

    based intra-city transport facility in Delhi.

    Rapid increase of population coupled with large-scale immigration due to high economicgrowth has resulted in ever increasing demand for better transport, putting excessive

    pressure on the city's existent transport infrastructure. Like many other cities in thedeveloping world, the city faces acute transport management problems leading to air

    pollution, congestion and resultant loss of productivity. In order to meet thetransportation demand in Delhi, the State and Union government started the construction

    of an ambitious Mass Rapid Transit system, known as[4] Delhi Metro in 1998. The

    project started commercial operations on December 24, 2002. It has set manyperformance and efficiency standards ever since and is continuously expanding at a very

    rapid pace. As of 2010, the metro operates 5 lines with a total length of 190 km[15]and

    132 stations[citation needed] while several other lines are under construction.

    cheap and environment friendly. Often, tourists and citizens use them for joyrides, too. .

    Cycle rickshaws arehuman-powered, a type oftricycle designed to carry passengers inaddition to the driver. They are often used on a for hire basis. Of late, they have been

    phased out from the congested areas ofChandni Chowkbecause of their slow pace,

    which often leads to traffic snarls on the streets ofOld Delhi. Still, they are the greatsource of public transport in Delhi.

    The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) operates the world's largest fleet of CNG-

    powered buses. AfterPune, Delhi was the second city in India to have an operational Bus

    rapid transit (BRT) system.[7]

    Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System[3]

    Delhi has one of India's largest bus transport systems. Buses are the most popular means

    of transport catering to about 60% of Delhi's total demand. It is mandatory for all privatebus operators to acquire a permit from theState Transport Authority. The buses traverse

    various well-defined intra-city routes. Other than regular routes, buses also travel on

    Railway Special routes; Metro Feeder routes. Mudrika (Ring) and Bahri Mudrika (Outer

    Ring) routes along Ring and Outer-Ring road respectively are amongst the longest intra-city bus routes in the world.

    Games

    With the introduction ofBus Rapid Transit (BRT) and the development of dedicatedcorridors for the service, bus service is set to improve. The DTC has started introducing

    air-conditioned buses and brand new low-floor buses (with floor height of 400 mm and

    even higher on one third area as against 230 mm available internationally.) on city streets

    to replace the conventional buses. A revamp plan is underway to improve bus-shelters inthe city and to integrate GPSsystems in DTC buses and bus stops so as to provide

    reliable information about bus arrivals.

    In 2007, after public uproar concerning the large number of accidents caused byprivately-owned Blueline buses, the Delhi government, under pressure from the Delhi

    High Court decided that all Blueline Buses shall be phased out and be eventually replaced

    by low floor buses of the state-owned DTC.[9] The Delhi Government has decided to

    expedite this process and will procure 6,600 low floor buses for the DTC by

    commonwealth games next year.[10]

    By 2010, Delhi will have over 8000 buses, of which Delhi Transport Corporation willprovide 6000 while 2000 would be blueline buses, 3125 will be low-floor ,1100 semi low

    floor and 1000 of them would be air-conditioned. Few buses would have GPS to preventthem from straying to other routes. The city already has 655 low-floor AC and non-AC

    buses. The bus routes are also being increased to 670 from the current 357 routes. Delhiplans to add at least 2500 of these new buses by the end of 2009.[11] The city has been

    divided into 17 clusters. Bus services in each of these clusters will be run by private

    operators. The first cluster is to be awarded by September 2008. The first cluster has 32routes, on which a total of 295 DTC and 270 private buses will run. The operators will be

    given the option of running 20 percent AC buses[12] With the introduction of new buses,

    DTC will be recruiting 4000 drivers to run the new buses.[13]

    In November 2009, DTC piloted a program to introduce the smart card where the

    commuters would be able to pay the fare through the smart card. They have decided toinstall the machines in 10000 buses.[14]

    [edit] Auto-Rickshaws

    Auto rickshaws (often called just auto) are common all over India, and provide cheap andefficient transportation. New auto richshaws ones run on CNG and are environment

    friendly.

    The auto-rickshaws (popularly known asAuto) are an important and popular means of

    public transportation in Delhi, as they are cheaper than taxis. Hiring anAuto in Delhi is

    very tricky, as very few auto-drivers agree to standard meter charges. The typical methodis to haggle for an agreeable rate. This is often a source of conflict for both Indians and

    visitors. Drivers tend to overcharge and make exorbitant demands. But there are a fewthat are nice. It is recommended to tip the good ones extra.

    Radio taxi powered by CNG

    Though easily available, taxis are not an integral part of Delhi public transport. The

    Indian Tourism Ministry and various private owners operate most taxis. The Tourism

    Ministry grants private companies permits to operate taxis.

    Recently, Radio Taxis have started to gain ground in Delhi. Brands such as Mega Cabs,EasyCabs, etc., provide the on-call radio taxi service, which is slightly more expensive

    than conventional Black and Yellow taxis. Other than these two mentioned, companies

    such as Hertz Car Rental and Avis Car Rental provide rent-a-car service.

    Overview

    Public transport in the metropolis includes the Delhi Metro, the Delhi Transport

    Corporation bus system, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and taxis. With the introduction

    of Delhi Metro, a rail-based mass rapid transit system, rail-based transit systems havegained ground. Other means of transit include suburban railways, inter-state bus services

    and private taxis which can be rented for various purposes. However, buses continue to

    be the most popular means of transportation for intra-city travel, they cater to about 60%of the total commuting requirements.[4]

    Private vehicles account for 30%[citation needed] of the total demand for transportation, while

    the rest of the demand is met largely by auto-rickshaws, taxis, rapid transit system andrailways.

    Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) serves Delhi for both domestic and internationalair connections, and is situated in the south-western corner of the city. In 2005-2006, IGI

    recorded a traffic of more than 20.44 million passengers. (Both Domestic and

    International),[5] Heavy air-traffic has stressed on the need for a secondary airport, which
