Commuters on a Mumbai local train were in for a surprise when they had an unusual co-passenger travelling alongside them on Saturday morning. The surprise turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the passengers as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made her way inside their coach and interacted with them.

Ms Sitharaman’s train ride lasted from Ghatkopar to Kalyan, both suburbs of Mumbai, her office said in an online post. Photos posted alongside showed her posing for selfies with youngsters and office-goers in the train.
Local trains are considered the lifeline of Mumbai, ferrying over 60 lakh passengers every day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has taken public transport on several instances and interacted with the commuters.
Last year, after inaugurating some new Mumbai Metro services, PM Modi travelled in the metro between Gundavali and Mogra stations. He was accompanied by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis during his ride.
