With the exception of Delhi (which has ~400 km of route length), many cities have perilously low route network (as low as single digit in many cases). This leads to under usage in many cases.
Of course, not all is woe. I have personal experience with two metro systems listed in the article. Kanpur has increased substantially from the paltry 3% occupancy article lists after route length increased and main railway station was connected. Yes, it is still far below saturation but better than nothing.
As for Pune, I am wondering if they took non peak time data(or old data) for reference. Because I traveled there last year and at evening, it was exceptionally dense crowd (like barely could get place to stand).
