Another commented, "Welcome to Jaipur." A third user wrote, "Thank you for coming to Rajasthan and experiencing the hospitality of Jaipur."
Another Jaipur resident suggested expanding the metro route to more tourist attractions, writing, "I am also from Jaipur, but I believe the Jaipur Metro route should also cover other historical places such as Amer Fort and Jal Mahal, so that tourists coming from outside can travel more conveniently."
