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% |
