Bengaluru has India's most expensive metro system, over Rs 75,000 cr spent for 96.1 km across 68 stations Yet it carries least people/km/day and Bengaluru's traffic is now ranked 5th worst globally So why is India's most expensive metro system the least utilised? 1/10

Bengaluru Metro's Phase 1 was planned in 2006, the Detailed Project Report projected 15 lakh daily passengers Actual ridership 15 years from then is just 4 lakh, that's just 27% of projections One of the biggest deterrent in this area is the lack of last mile connectivity 5/10
