When I came to Secunderabad junction for the first time, I was too afraid to take public transportation as I was not aware of the transportation system of the city. To make matters worse, my friend was late to pick me up. My friend asked me to take the metro to save time, tired and in a new city – did not know what to expect. But was positively amazed by the Metro system
