The seats of double decker are not very comfortable. Luggage space is poor in case of upper and lower decks . Same holds true for legroom. The coach feels cramped up and suffocating in case all seats are booked (rare , but have unfortunately experienced the scenario). A normal LHB Chair Car is much better .
The rake is a mix of Uday and double decker livery coaches . The windows on the lower deck in old DD coaches were full of scratches. Food trays were loose and dirty .

As I had highlighted in an earlier post , the major problem with jaipur metro is the route of current metro and it's frequency. The current route has less takers.

Also , the proposal of extension of the metro to ambabari on one side and sitapura on the other has been shelved by previous governments due to lack of funds and other pretexts since 2016- 2017.

ground , this holds immense potential, as many private minibuses and vans carry college students, workers and labour force from different parts of the city to sitapura industrial area (RIICO) (many factories , educational institutions are located here) via sanganer , tonk road and Pratap nagar .

Hopefully, if the current government prioritised this extension work and it sees light of the day , it would boost the ridership in long run , plus reduce reliance on private transport operators

Re# 6015404-3               Past Edits
I completely agree .
Metro can do wonders in so called "tier 2 cities" , if the routes are meticulously picked , after proper research and analysis ; and adequate transport connectivity from/to metro stations is ensured (Poor- in case of Jaipur). It can aid in reducing traffic jams and reduce reliance on local bus operators and cabs . Also, I believe monetary loss cannot always be the 'sole criteria' of judging performance of a metro network .

Cleanliness - Station is clean .
Auto/taxi - Ola/Uber drivers tend to ask location and cancel. Auto drivers tend to overcharge exuberantly.
In case you do not speak Tamil and are new to Tamil Nadu , prefer to alight at MGR Chennai Central over Perumbur .

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
