Less than a decade old, Jaipur Metro struggles to stay relevant
Jaipur's metro ridership data is raising questions about the necessity of such expensive infrastructure in smaller Indian cities. The article examines whether the pride associated with metros in cities like Jaipur, Agra, and Lucknow outweighs the lack of profitability and passenger numbers.
Jaipur ka metro ka ridership data yeh sawal uthata hai ki kya India ke chhote cities mein itna expensive infrastructure jaruri hai. Article mein yeh dekha gaya hai ki Jaipur, Agra aur Lucknow jaise cities mein metro se jo pride milta hai, woh profit aur passengers ki kami se zyada hai...

I read the article but I disagree with many claims that buses are the needs of Tier 2 cities in India and not metros.

In Jaipur, the government messed up by creating metro on a non optimized route and second, by not expanding it. In Lucknow, it actually does see ridership and is even full[4 coaches long the rake is] during certain times. The government however has only just now sanctioned the second stretch to connect the really old parts of the city where there are regular jams and it takes atleast 20+ minutes to reach any location. People will flock when a certain minimum threshold is reached for metro services[in terms...

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 .
