Suryaa National Desk: The Prime Minister has praised the implementation and rapid expansion of Metro rail services across the country. It was noted that the extension of services to various Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities over the past few years has made daily commuting more convenient for millions of passengers.
Official sources stated that the rapid growth of the Metro sector is supported by modern technology and the domestic manufacturing of coaches under the Make in India initiative. Experts suggest that Metro projects are playing a key role in strengthening public transport systems in line with increasing urbanization. Environmentalists have noted that reducing road traffic through Metro services contributes to fuel savings and a significant decrease in pollution emissions.
Central and state governments are jointly preparing plans to expand Metro services to more cities in the future. Metro stations are being integrated with digital technology to provide safety, speed, and comfort. Features such as single ticketing systems, automatic fare collection, and multi-modal integration are encouraging people to shift from private vehicles to Metro transport. Analysts believe this network expansion serves as a foundation for the country's economic progress and the development of urban infrastructure.
