"In Delhi, over 36 lakh passengers commute daily in the metro. If the metro wasn't there, what would have been the condition of Delhi's roads?" Adityanath asked.
"Today we are inaugurating Noida-Greater Noida metro. In a few days, we will join Ghaziabad with the metro," he said, while announcing the government's plans to bring metro connectivity to Kanpur, Agra and Meerut.
Recognizing that the public needed safe and environment-friendly public transport systems, he said that metro was the best example of that.
