As a frequent metro user, I welcome this move but hope the prices won't be inflated like at airports. Metro is for common people after all!

Reliance is taking over everything! First Jio, now beverages in metros. While convenient, I hope small vendors aren't completely pushed out. Need balance between corporates and local businesses.

Excited to try Campa in Hyderabad Metro! 🎉 But please ensure proper waste management - we don't want plastic bottles littering our beautiful stations.

Good initiative but hope they maintain hygiene standards. Many food outlets in metro stations have questionable cleanliness. Reliance should set higher benchmarks.

Would be great if they introduce healthy options too - maybe fresh juices or coconut water. Not everyone wants sugary drinks during their commute.
