Kolkata has a very good public transport system. Not like Delhi but good. This will further help the fans during WC.. I have been to Ahmedabad last month. The place has no traffic rules & poor public transport
Delhi only has the Delhi Metro which is really good, rest the DTC and cluster buses have pathetic service. Having spent significant amount of time in both cities, I find hopping around the city in the eastern metropolis much easier.
Once EW metro is operationalized in Kolkata, they should handover the NS line to KMRC as well.
Delhi has best transport system the only problem is population. Being of of the highest populated city in world you cant expect every thing to be butter smooth.
Population is not Delhi transport problem, spread and distribution is. Kolkata is basically a collection of several NS corridors, whereas Delhi is laid out in all possible directions. To plan routes in Delhi is a nightmare for the authorities.
How many fans are we expecting? All these cities regulalry host Cricket or Football matches with huge crowd in the same stadiums with little issues. How many non-local or Foreigner fans are we expecting? Unless FIFA has some definite protocol regarding transportation, I dont think that there will be any problem.
