Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday bought a ticket for a metro ride as he inaugurated the Pune metro rail project. He took a ride with “young friends” shortly thereafter.

“On board the Pune Metro with my young friends,” PM Modi tweeted sharing photos of himself sitting inside the metro train with children.

PM Modi took the ride from Garware Metro Station to Anandnagar station.

As of now, a 12-km stretch of the total 32.2-km Pune Metro Rail Project is operational.

The trains will be operational along 2 routes – Vanaz to Garware College Metro Station, and PCMC to Phugewadi Metro Station.
