After the Rajpath, we took the metro to Connaught Place (CP). The metro was as efficient and cleans as I remembered. It uses what appears to be cheap plastic token but are actually RFID chips. They still searched bags at the entrance, though they waved me right by. I guess I don't look like a terrorist in the eyes of Indian police.
As the metro is new, although the Indian government built a quality metro, the riders still need to get used to it. People need to learn to let people get off before attempting to get on.
