As India is one of the fastest developing country in world the metro rail network plays an important role in cities transport system so it is now need of future to have an efficient and well effective metro rail network in city. The objective of this research is a preliminary examination of metro rail network extensiveness versus the city’s needs, aiming to assist the estimation of the adequacy of a metro network. This study is concentrated on comparing mature metro system in several large European cities with Indian cities based on a selection of indicators relating metro network characteristics i.e. Length and no. of stations, city characteristics eg. Population and density. A methodology exploiting these macroscopic characteristics in a strategic planning context was developed and a combination of related indicators is proposed. This methodology is applied for the estimation of the degree of adequacy of the current Athens, Greece metro network in a relation to city’s needs. Findings indicate that the Athens metro network cannot be yet characterized as adequate and specific proposals are made in terms of future network extensions. These proposals served as the initial reference point in a more sophisticated planning process for metro system future development.
