Delhi Metro ranks among top five most reliable globally

Delhi Metro is a big train system in Delhi, India.

The people who run it say it is one of the most reliable metro systems in the world.

Being reliable means the trains show up on time, almost every single time.

Delhi Metro says its trains were on time 99.95% of the time in 2026.

They only count a train as late if it arrives more than 59 seconds after it was supposed to arrive.

About 4.6 million people ride the Delhi Metro every day.

The trains can travel a very long distance before having any technical problems, which shows they are well maintained.

Delhi Metro also runs a huge driverless train network.

Its Line 7 is said to be the longest driverless metro line in the world.

Because of all this, the metro has won awards for being run so well.
