    Interconnecting the Metropolitan

    Metro trains are the most popular mode of public transport in metropolitan cities of India. They have revolutionized the way people commute and travel across different cities. A metro train is an elevated rail system that runs on a dedicated right-of-way and it has its own tracks, signaling system, and control center. It connects two or more stations with each other via rail tracks or tunnels. Not only are the fares inexpensive, but these trains are also quick, convenient, comfortable, and most importantly, environmentally friendly.
