Delhi's interesting place...a mix of modern and archaic. We walked through old Delhi and the spice market there. Really small crowded streets that people still manage to drive scooters and bicycles through.
The train system is really modern though...better than Toronto's TTC if you can believe it. You go to a ticket booth and pay for your destination...the longer you go, the more you pay. They then give you a token to enter the system...it has a chip in it that opens the gates for you. You hang on to the token until you exit the system by dropping it in a slot at the exit gates. The trains run on time (pretty much) and are really clean.
We didn't stick around the city for too long. I don't mind...I'll have my fill of the place by the end of my tour of India.
