Abdullah shared his experience of using the Airport Express on X, stating: “Today I took the @OfficialDMRC Airport Express to get to Yashobhumi for the SATTE 2025 tourism promotion event. Twenty-five minutes in the train beats 1.5 hours in the car hands down and saves fuel & emissions. I’m not driving to Yashobhumi again.”

The J&K Chief Minister’s tweet underlined the advantages of public transportation, emphasising the time-saving benefits and environmental impact of using metro services over private cars. Abdullah’s endorsement comes at a time when promoting sustainable modes of transport is increasingly becoming a priority in urban planning.

The airport express line, known for its high-speed connectivity, offers a quick and efficient alternative for travelers heading to Delhi’s international airport and other destinations. Abdullah’s positive feedback could encourage more people to consider using metro services for their daily commutes, contributing to reducing traffic congestion and lowering carbon footprints.
