Sir, You known what is the name of song ?

@rameses5ingh hi. I agree, but same is the case with every metro train in the world. I have been on the Amsterdam metro and people literally push each other to get in during rush hr, and its not a pleasant exp. In Paris, the metro doors shut so fast that one can amputate a limb if not careful. Thats also a not-so-pleasant exp. Same holds true with NY Metro as well. But the thing is, that when there is not a lot of crowd around, Delhi Metro is the most comfortable and clean one to travel on.
