Delhi Metro is amongst the best transportation systems in the world. Several international leaders who have been to India and have got the opportunity to travel in Delhi Metro have been impressed by it. Now, US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, took a ride in the Delhi Metro and interacted with fellow passengers.

The US envoy travelled on the Magenta Line of the Delhi Metro Rial Corporation (DMRC). The DMRC took to the microblogging site X, formerly Twitter to share the video and wrote, "His Excellency Mr. Eric M. Garcetti, Ambassador of the United States of America to India, took a ride in Delhi Metro today from RK Puram to Okhla NSIC Metro Station on Magenta Line. He also interacted with passengers during his travel & appreciated clean and efficient Metro system."
