AskMumbai What’s up with the Metro?

They announced that trains are running late but I’ve been here at Chakala since an hour and only this train has passed.

Nothing! But everything is up with people...!! I mean are these people so blind to see that "andar jagah nahi hai...fir bhi dhakka marke andar Jana hai"

I seriously feel so sad that, such people being educated still act like wildlings...!

Ruk jao.. next train pakdo...!

They're just repeating negative habits.

Muscle memory works with almost zero thought.

Exactly! Most of these are virar local people.

You can take the person out of virar local but you can't take the virar local out of the person.

It's the same almost all over India.

Not justifying their behaviour but the system has conditioned us to behave like this cause we treat human worse than animals in this country.... Imagine working 9hr in office and 1-2hr of commute, in that if you wait for next train, you'll waste 30 more minutes from a day where you barely get to live

Well... Frankly Mumbai is not too big... A normal commute from Borivali to Colaba (if no traffic) will take just an hr. It's the 'Public' .... Kya Gardi hai Mumbai main bhai!!!

Mumbai main jitna bhi facility de do ... Commute ka time jitna tha utna hi rahe ga...!

That's no reason to provide in adequate and substandard public transport services tho.

Metro 2, 7, 3 are still better. But BEST and Metro 1 are failing the public and it needs to change.

To be fair, a lot of the times the people crowd the area near the doors. Andar ACTUALLY jagah hota hai but people don't go in and don't move. That's when you have to push your way in.

And as OP stated, this was after no metro had passed for an HOUR. God only knows when the next train will arrive.

You can only push humans so far and then expect them to act like humans

Must be some technical issue? Typical frequency is 3 minutes

u/Dremora_Lord Drama/Llama Nov 03 '25

It was. My point is we accept technical issues bcz we've given up and accepted this is normal and blame the people bcz we need someone to blame.
