Bengaluru has become the third Indian city whose metro network has crossed 100 kilometres. Which two came first?
- A.Chennai and Kolkata
- B.Delhi-NCR and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region
- C.Hyderabad and Ahmedabad
- D.Kolkata and Hyderabad
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Delhi-NCR and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. While dedicating the Pink Line, the Prime Minister said the Bengaluru network had reached its century of kilometres, and that the only places in the country to have done so earlier were Delhi and the National Capital Region, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. That makes Bengaluru the third name on the list. He added that Namma Metro has grown from a mere 17 kilometres in 2014 to the present size, and described the growth as a result of a wider push for ease of living and ease of travel for middle-class families. Options A, C and D pair cities whose systems were not named in this announcement as having reached the milestone, so each of them is wrong for the purpose of this question.
