&lt;em&gt;An effective mass transit system for India&amp;rsquo;s large urban agglomerations can flourish only with adequate financing of buses, metros, and suburban rail&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Among the several services that haven&amp;rsquo;t been able to keep up with the exponential growth of Indian cities is public transportation. As transit is integral to living in cities, residents have resorted to purchasing private vehicles to get around, adding to an already-severe congestion crisis in our cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution to this challenge has been largely centred around metro rail networks, which have had a mixed record across cities so far. Currently, there are 630 kilometers of metro rail in 13 cities, with more than half of it in Delhi (343 km) and several hundred kilometers being planned in the next few years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While metro rail networks may ease road traffic woes to some extent, the efficiency of investments in them remain a matter of debate. Even in Delhi, which received generous central assistance and low-interest foreign funding, together amounting to Rs.70,000 crores between 2010 and 2018 to build its impressive network, more than half of its population still remain beyond easy reach of the network (beyond a 1 km radius from any metro station).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other metropolitan regions are unlikely to build such large networks in the next decade or so given that they are facing financial constraints and the Union government framed new guidelines in 2017 which among other things, insist on participation from private firms in metro projects. While state and city authorities feel that the new guidelines impose onerous conditions, Union government officials argue that local authorities make plans in thin air, without thinking through the financial implications. The upshot of all this: most cities will have large shares of their population away from a high-speed mode of transit for the foreseeable future.&lt;br /&gt;

As transit is integral to living in cities, residents have resorted to purchasing private vehicles to get around, adding to an already-severe congestion crisis in our cities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution to this challenge has been largely centred around metro rail networks, which have had a mixed record across cities so far. Currently, there are 630 kilometers of metro rail in 13 cities, with more than half of it in Delhi (343 km) and several hundred kilometers being planned in the next few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While metro rail networks may ease road traffic woes to some extent, the efficiency of investments in them remain a matter of debate. Even in Delhi, which received generous central assistance and low-interest foreign funding, together amounting to Rs.70,000 crores between 2010 and 2018 to build its impressive network, more than half of its population still remain beyond easy reach of the network (beyond a 1 km radius from any metro station).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other metropolitan regions are unlikely to build such large networks in the next decade or so given that they are facing financial constraints and the Union government framed new guidelines in 2017 which among other things, insist on participation from private firms in metro projects. While state and city authorities feel that the new guidelines impose onerous conditions, Union government officials argue that local authorities make plans in thin air, without thinking through the financial implications. The upshot of all this: most cities will have large shares of their population away from a high-speed mode of transit for the foreseeable future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.livemint.com/news/india/india-s-public-transport-challenge-1568355574941.html&quot; title=&quot;https://www.livemint.com/news/india/india-s-public-transport-challenge-1568355574941.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

India's public transport challenge -Sriharsha Devulapalli & Howindialives

-Livemint.com An effective mass transit system for India’s large urban agglomerations can flourish only with adequate financing of buses, metros, and suburban rail Among the several services that haven’t been able to keep up with the exponential growth of Indian cities is public transportation. As transit is integral to living in cities, residents have resorted to purchasing private vehicles to get around, adding to an already-severe congestion crisis in our cities. The solution to this challenge has been largely centred around metro rail networks, which have had a mixed record across cities so far. Currently, there are 630 kilometers of metro rail in 13 cities, with more than half of it in Delhi (343 km) and several hundred kilometers being planned in the next few years. While metro rail networks may ease road traffic woes to some extent, the efficiency of investments in them remain a matter of debate. Even in Delhi, which received generous central assistance and low-interest foreign funding, together amounting to Rs.70,000 crores between 2010 and 2018 to build its impressive network, more than half of its population still remain beyond easy reach of the network (beyond a 1 km radius from any metro station). Other metropolitan regions are unlikely to build such large networks in the next decade or so given that they are facing financial constraints and the Union government framed new guidelines in 2017 which among other things, insist on participation from private firms in metro projects.
