Rail-based urban transit systems are still the most viable mode of travel for our cities: Vikas Kumar, MD, DMRC

Rapid urbanisation is one of the primary challenges that our planners have faced over the years. It is estimated that by 2030, more than 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas. And without a robust infrastructure for mass mobility, no urban centre can grow.

The growth of the economy and the increase in the number of employment opportunities can happen if a city has quality transportation options. In the case of Delhi NCR (national capital region), we have noticed how the metro came and transformed the economic landscape of the region.
