City transport

In the absence of the underground metro system promised for 2004, Delhi's
public transport
remains ill-equipped to cope with the city's size and ever-increasing complexity. Roads have to support diverse and conflicting forms of transport and there aren't any motorways to connect the satellite communities that keep cropping up around the metropolis. A mammoth new road-building project to construct 34 new flyovers by 2004 to help ease the horrendous traffic jams has in the meantime caused further misery, especially at rush hour. Buses and a few suburban trains carry most of the burden of public transport, though many visitors prefer to pay more for auto-rickshaws and taxis. Other useful information
