NOIDA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today advocated the use of public transport to save on fuel and costs associated with the import of petroleum, saying travelling on a metro train should be a "prestige issue".

I am very happy. Due to his dress, few people find it fashionable to believe that CM Yogi Adityanath is not 'modern enough' but it is Yogi Adityanath Ji who has done what CMs of UP never did- he came to Noida. Faith is important but blind faith is not desirable: PM Modi
On December 24, 2002 then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee took a ride on the metro, Modi recalled. "It was a historic moment. Since then, the Metro network in NCR has expanded considerably," he said.We live in an era in which connectivity is all important, the prime minister said.Without connectivity, life comes to a standstill. This Metro... is not only for the present but also for future generations," he said.
There was need to change the mindset so that people prefer using public transport than their private vehicles. He said travelling on a metro should be a "prestige issue".
