* More pre-start events: You mention that construction work began after "more than 40 years of studies." It would be good to have a few events describing these studies. The [[timeline of Bay Area Rapid Transit]] has a similar detailed unfolding of events prior to the start of BART. In addition, events describing what transportation options, and transportation-related controversies, existed in Delhi prior to this, might also help shed light (for instance, buses and autos were switched to CNG around 2000 or so I think, to reduce pollution).

* More of a sense of geography: It would be good to mention where in the city various stations and lines are. You do this sometimes; however, it would be good to do it more consistently.

General standalone evaluation comments

The timeline looks good overall! A few areas where I would like to see improvement:

  • More pre-start events: You mention that construction work began after "more than 40 years of studies." It would be good to have a few events describing these studies. The timeline of Bay Area Rapid Transit has a similar detailed unfolding of events prior to the start of BART. In addition, events describing what transportation options, and transportation-related controversies, existed in Delhi prior to this, might also help shed light (for instance, buses and autos were switched to CNG around 2000 or so I think, to reduce pollution).
  • More of a sense of geography: It would be good to mention where in the city various stations and lines are. You do this sometimes; however, it would be good to do it more consistently.

Maybe take another look at timeline of Bay Area Rapid Transit to get more ideas.

Line-by-line comments

  • The Big picture references "federal government" but that term isn't used in India; "central government" is the term of choice there. It might be good to change that (you can parenthetically say federal to reduce confusion for users from other countries).
  • The row for 2013 May 9 referencing the COVID-19 pandemic seems wrong; there was no COVID-19 pandemic at the time. Please check the date and the content of the row!
