The view from our first hotel bedroom (the Grand Sartaj) of Aurobindo Marg, one of the main roads into New Delhi, on the morning of our arrival on 27th April, showing the mess being caused by the construction of the extension to the  Delhi Metro system in readiness for the Commonwealth Games in 2010. The first phase of Delhi's metro was finished in 2002. We managed a short ride on our return visit at the end of the holiday. It's clean, quiet, efficient and cool. The bus in this picture, though old, runs on gas as does all public transport thus making a significant impact on improving air quality.
