Jaipur Metro, the youngest metro in the country, is all set to usher in a new era in public transport in Rajasthan. It also has the distinction of being constructed in shortest period of time.The trial run of the ambitious urban transport project is expected to begin by the end of this month. Keeping in tune with the time and a vision to provide a comfortable mode of travel to the commuting public in the city free of congestion and traffic jam, the project opens the doors for world class travel aspirations of the people in other cities as well.The Rs 9732 crore project will prove to be a milestone in the history of the state in mass transport. The state that once used camel cart for public transport has seen rapid strides in travel and transport over the years. It has been making steady progress in road, rail and air travel but metro rail would stand out as a special gift to the people of the pink city which is growing leaps and bounds. The project was launched as part of making ‘Jaipur a world class city’. |
