India’s metro network is only 216 km short of US
India's metro rail network has grown substantially since the country's first service began in Kolkata in 1984. Currently, the network spans over 1,155 km across 26 cities, making it the world's third-largest operational metro network. India's metro journey started with a single short stretch in Kolkata, and the network has since expanded to cover more cities and kilometres.
