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%
