Public transport in Delhi is provided by buses, auto rickshaws, a rapid transit system, taxis and suburban railways.

Buses are the most popular means of transport catering to about 60% of the total demand.[44] The state-owned Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is a major bus service provider for the city. The DTC operates the world's largest fleet of environment-friendly CNG buses.[45] Though pollution from road transport has decreased in recent years, it is still at a high level.[46]. A busway network, at present consisting of a single line between Ambedkar Nagar and Delhi Gate, is also under construction.

The Delhi Metro, a mass rapid transit system, serves many parts of Delhi. As of 2007, the metro operates three lines with a total length of 65 km (40 miles) and 59 stations while several other lines are under construction.[47] Line 1 runs between Rithala and Shahdara. Line 2 runs in an underground tunnel between Vishwa Vidyalaya and the Central Secretariat. Line 3 runs between Indraprastha, Barakhamba Road, and Dwarka. The network is being expanded at a rapid pace with Phase-II under construction (128 km), expected to be completed by 2010. Phase III and IV will be completed by 2015 and 2020 respectively, creating a network spanning 413.8 km, longer than London's Underground[48]

Railways served only 1% of the local traffic until 2003.[44] However Delhi is a major junction in the rail map of India and is the headquarters of the Northern Railway. The four main railway stations are Old Delhi, Nizamuddin Railway Station, Sarai Rohilla and New Delhi Railway Station.[44]
