Metro helps cut down carbon dioxide in Delhi says Sachin Karpe



Metro helps cut down carbon dioxide in Delhi says Sachin Karpe. DMRC has transported over 369 crore commuters in the last 12 years, resulting in saving of 2.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent due to shift from other modes of travel, thus reducing global warming and climate change, according to Sachin Karpe. There is a marked improvement in travel speed as travelling by Metro is much faster. It takes only 80 minutes to travel a distance of 45 km from Jahagirpuri to HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon. By road, it would have taken more than 3 hours. Travelling by metro has also resulted in reduction of 591 accidents annually, out of which 110 could have been fatal.
