The Delhi Metro, is probably Delhi’s fastest and best means of transport, but only if you are going where the Metro wants to take you, as it is still under construction and only Phase 1 covering parts of Delhi is completed. However, by the year 2020 Delhi will have one of the best Metro systems in the world when Phase 2 would be complete.
Physical construction work started on October 1, 1998 and has proceeded smoothly with the first line opening on December 24, 2002 and the entire 
Phase 1 of the project was completed in December 2005, on budget and almost three years ahead of schedule, an achievement described as "nothing short of a miracle" by BusinessWeek.
Mr. E. Sreedharan, the Managing Director of the Metro during the Phase 1 construction, was declared "Indian of the Year for 2007" by CNN-IBN news channel.
