Why Delhi’s Local Train System is Crumbling

Imagine the Delhi local trains are like school buses, but they are often late, crowded, and not very safe.

These trains used to be a cheap way for people to travel to work, especially those who don't earn much money.

But now, they are often delayed due to other trains taking priority, making commutes long.

The trains are also old and there are not enough for the number of passengers.

Some people have stopped using the trains altogether because of the delays.

There is a need to improve them with better schedules, more trains, and dedicated tracks, but the plans are not there yet.
