'Bina ticket aaya hai tu, pakda zaroor jayega'
The rap video is dedicated to the shana TC (Cunning Ticket Collector), who will watch the offenders like a hawk.
Some of the clever lyrics include, "Bina ticket aaya hai tu, pakda zaroor jayega (if you have come without a ticket, you'll definitely get caught)."
In the end, a message appears, "Avoid ticketless travel. Use UTS app and ATVM machines to purchase tickets."
Reactions
While most netizens loved the rap, some made jokes
Goyal's tweet went viral in no time and netizens loved every bit of it.
Many lauded the Railways efforts to teach a civic lesson in an entertaining way.

Previously, Goyal used 'GoT' reference to promote Baramulla-Banihal train journey
This isn't the first time the Railways Minister used pop culture references to promote the Indian Railways' services and ideas.
Last December, while tweeting about the Baramulla-Banihal train journey in Jammu and Kashmir, which rides through stunning snow-clad valleys, Goyal made a reference of the popular TV series, GoT.
He tweeted with the caption, "Winter is Coming" and dubbed Kashmir as "India's Icy North."
