With Delhi University admission all set to begin on Thursday, students and parents will be pouring in from all parts of the country. Not well versed with routes coupled with maddening Delhi traffic, the metro is safe and cheap alternative for commuting to over 70 colleges  which otherwise can become confusing and hectic at the same time, suggest city watchers.
