Public Transport at Delhi

Due to problems with my bike, I was using public transport for the last two days.  Using public transport at Delhi is getting better now a days.  If you are traveling where metro train available, it is well and good. If you happened to use Bus services, it is easy and economic.  But I found it time consuming. 

If it is raining, there would be traffic jam in most of the roads at Delhi.   Even if you use a private means of transport, in rainy days, there are possibility of getting stuck at the road.  So it is advised to get out of your den as early as possible.  Otherwise you will be missing your appointments. 

If you use public transport, you will see different types of people.  People who stand in the Queue  and people who brake the queue.  You can also see people stand in queue fight with the people who take out of turn.   It happens mostly in the railway reservation counter where people are so hurry to reach their destination. 

You can witness a first hand information about the cultural chance that happened in this city.  It was a good experience for me to see the changes.  In metro people are behaving very well.  There is a positive change happened in the culture.  You would see more educated and well behaved people in the metro train.

Metro stations has many counters.  But often I found one or two counters are working and the rest of the counters are closed.  And people stand in queue for getting their token. 

I love traveling in metro as it is air conditioned.  Traveling on bus in summer is very difficult.  If you happened to travel in the peak hours, it would be a miserable experience.  Delhi is a good place.  Now many roads are widened and many flyovers are built along the roads for the smooth function of Common Wealth Games 2010.  It will start on 3rd October and end at 14th October 2010.

Under the Chairmanship of MP Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, the Organising Committee is making every efforts to make it a success.  During the games period, schools and colleges will not be working.  It'll reduce the traffic to some extent.
