A state-of-the-art mass transit system is being constructed in one of the most densely populated places on earth.
"In a city of 14 million people that otherwise tends toward controlled anarchy, it is a pride-inspiring marvel....New Delhi's system is being hailed as a political, managerial and engineering triumph...over the last four and a half years, much of the sprawling system has been built in, above and beneath some of the most densely populated square miles on earth...In a feat of engineering, construction workers are building almost seven miles of underground tunnels and nearly 32 miles of above-ground track without closing major roads."
