• Need of Metro Rail • Project Description • Advantages of Metro Rail • Multimodal Connectivity • GoI Support • Status     » The Metro Rail System has proved to be the most efficient in terms of energy consumption, space occupancy and numbers transported » Hi-capacity carriers – very high volumes of peak hour peak direction trips » Eco-friendly – causes no air pollution, much lesser sound pollution » Low energy consumption – 20% per passenger km in comparison to raod-based systems » Greater traffic capacity – carries as much traffic as 7 lanes of bus traffic or 24 lanes of car traffic (either way) » Very low ground space occupation – 2 metres width only for elevated rail » Faster – reduces journey time by 50% to 75%
