Lucknow. The commencement of the Lucknow metro rail service is expected to assist in lessening air pollution in the state capital in the long run.

If people of Lucknow will be using the Lucknow Metro service on the regular basis then it is expected that the air quality of the city will improve as there will be less use of cars and buses.
Since Metro operation will not locally generate air emission, air quality will be improved in future. Once the air becomes cleaner, the quality of life of those suffering from respiratory distress will also get better.
