You may have heard of the Comparison of Economies using a Burger's Price in various countries.
I have a new model to compare the economies of Cities. It's called the number of Coaches on Suburban Trains. Economy Size is directly proportional to the number of coaches on your Suburban trains (metro or otherwise).
Mumbai has suburban trains (local) with 12 coaches. So does the Delhi Metro, on most lines.
Pune has 3-coach metro trains. Maybe more on suburban lines to Lonavala..
Hyderabad, likewise.
Kolkata has very few coaches on its metro trains.. maybe more on Suburban local trains to Belur and so on.
If you can do the Math, you will get an idea of the local economy. You can factor in the number of passengers using these as an additional factor in the calculation.
This is how new theories are born.. like an apple falling on your head!
