Journeys on metro trains are fun and have different stories from different places in the world!
Have you ever traveled on metro trains? If yes, how have your experiences been? If not, let
me tell you why you should make your journey on a metro train super soon!
The metro is not just a way to commute from one place to another; it also brings the joy of
traveling with creative people all around! The metro is a place where people from different
diverse backgrounds and cultures come together, making a journey to their destinations.
Some are heading to schools, colleges, or offices, while others are off to visit relatives, picnic
spots, and countless other places.
Many people scroll through their phones, some chit-chat with friends, others eat and sleep,
and some even study to pass the time. The metro trains bring people from various
communities together in a crowd. Some offer their seats to those in need, and others help
tourists with directions. You might see couples holding hands, children helping their parents
on escalators, and artists sketching or singing to entertain the crowd and showcase their
talents.
Exploring the journey, meeting strangers, and maybe even making new friends adds an extra
layer of excitement. Here, you’ll encounter people from all walks of life, which is what makes
the journey more enjoyable—whether you’re a daily commuter or a first-time rider. If you open your heart to witness the beauty and joy of a metro ride, you’ll never regret being a
part of it!
In a nutshell, metro trains are full of different stories that you should experience. Witness
the joy of the ride!
Seelampur is the nearest metro in my area!
Checking-in is smooth, I wish if I could enter a different world, every time I check-in!
Battles for seats are the most interesting part! Not getting one feels like the world is apart!
Coordination between the metro train driver and the security guards is what teamwork is
all about!
Helping ones in need is the best way to start or end your day with! I do the same and I hope you do it too!
Remembering the full chart is the flex for most of the daily travelers!
Asking “excuse me bhaiya, aapko utarna hai?” is a task in itself in the crowd!
Talking to uncles in the metro and them laughing on the kind of discussions we do!
Looking in other people’s watches and phones is the weird but fun thing that most of the people do while traveling!
Gossips with friends and laughing on jokes that doesn’t even make sense is the memory I never want to miss out on!
Standing on doors when you are alone and keeping your bags down to let the weight get off
your body ahhhh! Even sitting on the floor of the first or last coach when you just couldn’t find the seats or you just offered it to someone else!
Sweetcorn and metro ride are a combination most travelers don’t miss out on!
Getting out of the train and running to the checkout point to avoid queues is a race in itself haha!!
Way back home is the feeling of extreme relief that couldn’t be explained in words!
