"India have some extra rush in the metro stations but we indeed have one of the best stations in the world," commented another. "Proud to be Indian. I just hope we will keep it that way without trashing, making it dirty and spitting everywhere, would be nice if people start taking showers and show up clean, and stop being so loud on public transport, stop talking on the phone. Honestly so much growth is yet to come but this is the step in the right direction," said a third user. "Indian influencer showing negatives by comparing foreign and they vice versa," wrote another. "Indian metros are the best," expressed one user. "We got some of the best airports too," said another. Notably, this is not the first time a tourist has been impressed with the Delhi Metro.

He gave his followers a glimpse into the Delhi Metro, revealing its interior and sharing the affordable ticket prices. He also showcased a metro station's impressive amenities, including popular brands like KFC, Adidas, and Crocs. "Not enough is being said about Delhi's metro system. You assume when you come to Delhi, it will be tuk tuk drivers trying to rip you off, smelly, trash, everywhere. What no one tells you is that they have got a very clean, efficient, reliable, and well-connected metro system," he said in the clip.
