During the ride, he interacted with commuters to gather feedback on transit convenience and ticket integration. Passengers expressed satisfaction, noting that the combined pass simplifies first-and-last-mile connectivity and saves travel time.

Following the Metro trip, the delegation boarded a TGSRTC bus from Jubilee Hills Check Post to the Secretariat. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar highlighted that integrating bus and Metro networks is key to easing traffic congestion in Hyderabad, offering commuters a cost-effective and time-saving transit solution.
