Chandigarh faces a persistent challenge in implementing mass transit solutions for its growing population. Private vehicles dominate nearly four out of five passenger trips, straining existing infrastructure significantly. Authorities have explored numerous mass transit options over two decades without successful implementation. Mounting costs and heritage preservation concerns continue to stall proposed metro projects. The city now explores cheaper alternatives like light trams and peripheral metro links.
