On record
The only operational corridor of a system sanctioned at ₹6,928 crore sees only a fraction of expected ridership: at Hussainganj station roughly 600 people board/alight daily, and about half the seats run empty between Charbagh and the airport.
The official record states: "Urban planners cited poor last-mile connectivity and low public awareness; officials have not disputed the ridership figures."
“Six thousand nine hundred crore for a line where half the seats travel alone.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire
“Boarded at Hussainganj with about six other people. Six hundred a day use this station, and the train is spotless because of it.”
“Rode from Charbagh to the airport with half the seats empty. Very comfortable, very expensive, very quiet.”
“Nearly seven thousand crore of metro, and the bit nobody funded was the auto ride to reach the station.”
