Was browsing the forum - going to be in Delhi for a few days this summer - and saw the discussion on the DC metro.
Needless to say it's pretty much gone down the tubes (pun intended) very rapidly over the last couple of years. Systemic problems with escalators, breakdowns during rushhour, major management problems... to get caught up I would recommend reading unsuckdcmetro.blogspot.com .
Looking forward to exploring the Delhi metro though!
