One of the closer metro station to our house is Subhash Nagar metro station. It is on Aqua Line, which was inaugurated on 29 January 2020.
During our evening walk we go up to Sheetla Mata Mandir. Subhash Nagar metro station is just 100 - 200 meters from there.
Yesterday when we reached Sheetla Mata Mandir I suggested to go and have a look at Subhash Nagar metro station.
When we reached there Priti suggested "why not take a ride". So we went and got a return ticket from Subhash Nagar to Lokmanya Nagar.
Total duration of the trip from Subhash Nagar to Lokmanya Nagar was of 30 minutes duration, including the wait time for the same train to start back on it journey back to Burdi.
Station has been made very passenger friendly. To reach metro platform there is a lift, an escalator and a wide staircase with support rails.
The ticketing staff is friendly. We paid Rs 10 for travel on the metro. From discussion with ticketing staff I got the impression that on this Rs 10 ticket one can travel from end to end stations or any intermediate distance. So we paid Rs 40 for our first return trip and may pay same for all future trips.
Security personnel are patrolling on the station premise and on platforms.

To access the platform first you have to cross electronically controlled gate which opens when the QR code printed on the ticket is put on the QR code scanner of the gate. As soon as ticket is scanned gate opens. Pass through a security check and on to platform.
Through out the station premise information boards are displaying information covering every aspect of travel by "माझी मेट्रो"
Coaches are brand new and veri clean, well ventilated by ac and well lighted . By every door present station and up coming stations are indicated.
Inside the coach also all sorts of useful information displayed. There was not mush crowd may be because it was only the second day of operation and public is still not sure about the service
I have travelled in Delhi metro which are now few years old. Still the cleanliness on the coaches, the platform and the stations are still maintained in top condition. People do not litterant where in metro area. They do not spit in the coaches or any where.
It was our first ride in "माझी मेट्रो" we felt very proud that Nagpur is one of the very few cities which have this facilities. When we went for the ride every thing was sick and span, clean.
I only pray and wish that the undisciplined nagpurians no not treat "माझी मेट्रो"the same way they treat traffic rules and use nicely coming up wide roads.
