Comparing 200 km Delhi metro with Dhaka is not fare.Compare with similar length like Chennai or Hyderabad metro. I am sure the Red line(25km) the first phase of Delhi metro had much less capacity than the Dhaka metro.NEW DELHI: This October, when Delhi Metro throws open to the public its Magenta Line spanning Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden, expect to get a train — and a driverless one at that — every 100 seconds.
The 36.98km stretch, the first phase of which will be commissioned after three months, will run on Communication Based Train Control (CBCT), a state-of-the-art signaling technology, which will help the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) slash its existing peak-hour frequency of 135 seconds.
Delhi metro runs 8 coach trains(capacity-3000)/6 coach rakes on it's older network and exclusively 6 coach rakes (capacity : 2280) on the new, CBTC enabled networks.
