Delhi Metro is second most unaffordable system in the world: Report
Delhi Metro is second most unaffordable system in the world: Report The Delhi Metro, after its mooted fare hike, has become the second most unaffordable system in terms of percentage of income spent for using it, says a study by the Centre of Science and Environment (CSE). Of the nine metropolitan cities across the world which have operational metro systems and where the cost for a 10-km trip is less than half-a-US dollar, the Delhi Metro is the second most costly system.
The calculations made by the CSE reveals that an unskilled daily-wage labourer in Delhi has to spend an average of eight per cent of his or her income by travelling on a non-AC bus, 14 per cent for an AC bus and 22 per cent on the Delhi Metro.
