Mumbai: Industrialist Harsh Goenka has praised the Mumbai Metro Line 3, also known as the Aqua Line and called his recent travel experience better than metro systems in Paris, London and New York.
Sharing his experience on his official handle on X (formerly Twitter), Goenka said he travelled on the Mumbai Metro for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. He described the station as spotless and said the train arrived exactly on time. According to him, the system was efficient, organised and remarkably uncrowded.
Goenka said he has travelled on metros in Paris, London and New York, but found his experience on Mumbai Metro 3 'definitely the best' among them.
In his post, he raised a serious question on the quality of Mumbai roads and asked, "If we can build and maintain world-class metro systems, why can’t we demand the same standards for our roads?"
