Gender has not been fully integrated into the mainstream of either the infrastructure debate or the debate on transport services. This article attempts to locate gender in public transport through an ethnographic study of the Delhi Metro services.

Thus a distinct power dynamics has been created, which has reproduced or transformed the internalised meaning of public space for women.
