New Delhi metro Line 2 of the new New Delhi metro opened on Christmas Eve, 2002. S nce then, two new lines have opened, bringing the system to 68 stations and 76.7 km . An additional 128 km and 79 stations are due to be completed by 2010. Currently, most of the system is above ground. Line two is mostly elevated, with a few short sections at ground level. Line one runs underground for 11 km, while Line 3 has a short, 3 station underground section in downtown New Delhi. In November 2009, Delhi Metro's 15 km, 11 station blue line extension from Yamuna Bank to Noida opened. The line is expected to be very popular, since commuters making the 20 km trek to New Delhi typically spend 2 hours on the road for a similar journey. The first section of New Delhi's Green Line is scheduled to open in December 2009, adding another 18.46 km and 15 new stations to the rapidly growing network. Progress is made despite a rash of serious accidents. According to Delhi Metro, the system, when complete, will consist of 34.5 km subway, 35.5 km elevated, and 111 km surface running. This statement was made in 2003. Delhi Metro now plans on a complete system - is there really such a thing? - of 413 km. The Delhi metro is considered a state of the art system, with air conditioned driverless trains, magnetic fare cards and electronic fare gates.  Unbeknownst to some, there are 15 subways in New Delhi, the first built in 1987. Another eight are planned. They do not, however, involve rail. An remember, when riding the Delhi metro, remember to leave your cigarettes at home. A feasibility study is now underway for Old Delhi, with the possibility of a tramway system being built.
