MASS TRANSIT IN INDIA:Mass transit in India is still at a very nascent stage . Most of the
large cities are now building their own Metro systems. Delhi (and
National Capital Region) is probably the only one fully built out.
Others are barely scratching the surface.
Rapid transit in India consists of bus, metro, monorail and light rail
systems. The first rapid transit system in India was the Kolkata
Metro, which started operations in 1984. The Delhi Metro was
India's first modern metro and the third rapid transit system in
India overall, after the Kolkata Metro and Chennai Mass Rapid
Transit System (Chennai MRTS), beginning operations in 2002.
Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon, which started operations in November
2013, is India's first privately owned and operated metro.[1] The
Mumbai Monorail, which opened on 7 February 2014 is the first
monorail in India, since the closing of the Patiala State Monorail
Train ways in 1927.
