The GDA officials said that they don’t have enough funds to extend the Metro network in the city. Instead, they said, a regional rapid transport system (RRTS) — an inter-city high-speed train connectivity project — is more financially feasible as a means for mass-transport and the authority would prefer it over Metro.
