Section 2 determines the geodesics of simply-connected homogeneous \(SO(2)\)-isotropic three-dimensional manifolds, by integrating the associated Euler-Lagrange equations. Section 3 describes the Euclidean shape of these geodesics, and Section 4 gives the volume density function for the family of metrics producing the geodesics.
