Conclusion

Ahmedabad has witnessed enormous growth during last 10 years

The growth is mainly the result of immigration as the city provided better employment opportunities

Ahmedabad is the principle administrative, commercial and distribution center of Gujarat State

Ahmedabad is fast developing as educational hub of Gujarat

Rapid urbanization in the recent past has put the city’s travel infrastructure to stress

So Metro Project is the supportive solution to overcome the stress of city’s travel infrastructure
