With the Ahmedabad Metro (the 12th metro in India), the city will also be developed in a planned manner, as it will work in integration with other modes of transport like the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS), Ahmedabad BRTS, railways, etc. Ahmedabad Metro has been planned in a way that it involves minimum land acquisition. By using state-of-the-art technology, most tracks along the Ahmedabad Metro route are elevated.
