The Aqua Line is truly impressive. Took it last week from Ghatkopar and reached Bandra in 20 minutes! This is the infrastructure development we need across all metros. Kudos to the team.
Good on her for trying it out. But let's be real, this is a one-off experience for her. Most celebrities won't ditch their luxury cars. Still, positive publicity for public transport!
As someone who recently moved to Mumbai, the metro has been a lifesaver. It's clean, efficient, and affordable. More lines please! The city's traffic is otherwise impossible.
It's heartening to see the metro getting praise. But we must ensure this standard of cleanliness and efficiency is maintained long-term. Our local trains could learn a thing or two.
Love Soni Razdan! She's always so graceful and down-to-earth. Not surprised she enjoyed the ride without being recognized. The metro really is a 'wow' project for Mumbai. 😊
