Jaipur Metro’s opening is better than Delhi and Bangalore
The second Phase delayed while showing loss in Metro but statistics say a different story.
There are many questions regarding Jaipur Metro. The biggest question being if the metro is in such a big loss then who and why would anyone start the second phase of Metro. It was found in research conducted by Dainik Bhaskar that out of 110 metros in the whole world only five are in profit. Even if we compare the first phase of Delhi-Bangalore- Chennai then also Jaipur Metro seems in a more profitable condition than they do.
Some statistics regarding Jaipur Metro are quoted underneath –
It started with 52400 passengers per day, whereas now there are 30000 passengers per day. The cost of functioning a metro is 8.5 lakh per day and the income is at 3.20 lakh rupees. That is why no private company is getting ready to invest in the second phase of the metro. The second phase is already a year late and there are no signs of it starting further soon.
However, the facts are striking. If the earlier months are to be compared then the number of passengers commuting daily in Delhi and Jaipur amount to same even when Delhi is more than twice in population.
