A rake made a round trip from Joka to Taratala and back with many people, including students of various schools, enjoying the ride.

In a virtual address after the launch, the PM said, "The Joka-Taratala metro train services will ensure ease of living for residents of Calcutta. Work on the rest of the route till Esplanade is underway." The metro route is scheduled to be extended to Esplanade in central Calcutta, connecting it with the east-west and north-south lines.
