In both Delhi and Mumbai there was a lot of construction on the creation of a metro system. If you've ever driven through either of these cities you know how desperately India needs a metro system. On our first time through Mumbai on this visit it took John, Volga and Shukla three and a half hours to get from downtown to their place. Here's a picture of the elevated line in Delhi. Mr. Rakesh also told me that this particular area had already collapsed twice during construction - although I haven't checked on that yet - so there are a lot of challenges in putting this all together. There is also the feeling among the Indians that they have to take measures like this to help alleviate the poor air quality.
