I was talking about Beijing and Mysore......TBH, I just learned that there is a city called Mysore in India...and looking at some pics of it, it looks like a good place to visit. But still it wouldn't compare to Beijing...

Well logic can be extended to say smaller towns of Canada. No one has heard of them really but they are lot cleaner than Beijing (so really its unfair to compare Mysore)....in fact Beijing like most big cities gets pretty shabby once you leave the city centre area (its common theme esp in Asia, I lived in HK a long time and know of many examples there).

I have only found Singapore to be one which has complete cleanliness and orderliness to higher than 90% permeation (center or edges)...as far as major cities go.

2030 to compete just 2 route !! By that time there will be more cities needing metro . Can't they finish the metro like in a year ?

The traffic in Dhaka is simply unbearable everyday .

Takes approx 5 years to build 50 km of metro but varies depending on underground component.
You guys will enjoy a modern metro. In india the only clean and maintained areas are generally the metros.

True. The touristy areas are maintained like the bund in shanghai but branch out and it becomes a lot less savoury.

UP population is 19 crore... Bimaru is a short form of "Bihar, Madya pradesh ,Rajasthan and Uttar pradesh" , those combined population is 40 crore means 30% , their economy is growing faster as Muslims fertility rate is reduced and they are coming under control..

In 2011 census UP had population 200 million and it has one of the highest population growth in India. So current population may be around 240 million.

BIMARU also include Jharkhand, Chattishgarh. When BIMARU was coined these states were within Bihar and Madya Pradesh. there are also other states whose name are not within BIMARU but has similar living conditions like Odisha, Assam, some other north eastern states, eastern part of Maharastra etc. So BIMARU condition prevail over half of India.

Not 2 but 3 routes. MRT-6(under construction), MRT-1 and MRT-5 by 2030.

Nah man, you came into thread saying their capital dont have a subway etc etc.... was the Indian cities worthless when they didnt have subways some years back?

Pick and choose the battles please....but you are new, so maybe it will take time. They know very well deep down they cannot compete with India....just leave them be if they aren't asking for it.

What happened to you there?

I want to be sure about this part from our Chinese members.
@Two @Chinese-Dragon @cirr @rcrmj @Beast
@JSCh @TaiShang

To me,after searching in google, poorest Chinese province, Gansu looks much more cleaner and developed than Mumbai....not to mention per capita of Gansu in nominal USD is like twice of Mumbai.

We can refer to Vietnam and Guangxi Province of China (Ethnic Minority Aggregation Areas).

Guangxi per capita GDP: 5477 USD.
Vietnam Per capita GDP: 2214 USD.

Now Vietnam's per capita GDP is still higher than India.

Bangla desh should use chinese money but at own terms and conditions, it should chose terms and conditions at par with world bank , working agencies should have bangla participation , rates and cotract terms should not be decided by china.

Are you sane? If you are to determine the terms and conditions of borrowing money who would lend you?

Does anyone consider that China should be a charity Institution with her hardly-earned money?

DO NOT QUOTE TROLL POSTS. YOU MAKE THE JOB OF MODERATOR TEAM DIFFICULT AS WE THEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH TWO POSTS WHERE WE COULD HAVE DONE WITH ONE.

If the borrowing conditions are not favourable than no need to borrow or look for other parties.
Lending is basically a business. China want to lend their money to countries so that those countries get things done by Chinese companies and the loan will be repaid to China(with interests) anyway.

Or for Japan, their internal interest rate is very low(maybe negative) so they take interest from their lent money......their national pension system is dependent on it.

Most governments in the world are in huge debt. China is not an exception. What differentiates China from other developing countries is that China built a strong economy and infrastructure by using international loans! China has to take risks to lend money to those developing economies that can not borrow from no where! It's a business indeed.

BD have places to borrow from, China being one(probably the largest one) among them. Padma Bridge was supposed to funded from WB loan later WB denied to provide money because of some scandal, then BD decided to build it with own money. China was willing to fund it, but BD rather denied it because the terms were not acceptable. Metro rail is funded mostly by BD money and Japanese loans....so if BD takes loan from China, that does not mean BD has no other option. Rather it means China gave BD better terms and conditions. It is basically give and take relation. BD can manage without Chinese loans and China surely can manage without giving BD money.....so the deal only takes place when it is beneficial for both. And in many cases it seems it is good for both BD and China. BD wants good relation with China but it does not seek dependency.

It's good that BD has all the options to borrow money! It's an art doing business with lenders to reach your goal. China is neither a saint nor an evil. I suggest that BD should avoid to take Chinese loans so that you will not fall into Chinese debt trap.
