So far so good. The successful operation of the metro has put the city's public-transport system on the right track. Meanwhile, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is having second thoughts about the absence of toilets at metro stations.
Elaborates DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal, "While mobile toilet facilities are provided at metro stations, we will soon take a decision on setting up permanent toilets after ascertaining the profile of the average commuter."
