You do not want to see the data of Delhi or any other place for 20 years ago because that do not support your statement..
Per capita income of India 20 years ago was 25339.52INR and today it is 183607. Approx 7 times increment
Fare...
more... from Delhi to Mumbai in 2003 in sleeper class was around 375-400 and today in AC class it start from 1650.
If you consider per Capita as base then you will left behind because in 2004, condition of Delhi was also not that much good. Most population used to travel in Blue Line buses only.
