Bengaluru Metro Praised for Discipline, Sparks Debate
Video: Woman Calls Bengaluru Metro 'Disciplined,' Internet Isn't So Sure · NDTV

A woman named Shabina Masood made a video on Instagram about how people in the Bengaluru Metro are very well-behaved.

She said that people follow rules when getting on and off the train, offer seats to women, and that pickpocketing is rare.

Many people on the internet agreed with her, saying that the Bengaluru Metro is one of the most disciplined.

However, some people disagreed and said that not all stations and lines are the same, and that pickpocketing can still happen.

The video started a conversation about how small things like standing in a queue and offering seats can make traveling on public transport better for everyone.

Online commenter responding to Masood’s video

“Please visit the RV Road metro and take the Green Line towards Majestic. I see lots of educated clowns and IT employees boarding the metro like cows and sheep - no discipline, no common sense, and no civic sense.”

“Bengaluru metro ki sabse achhi baat yeh hai ki yahan ke log bahut hi disciplined hain. Metro mein chadhte aur utarte waqt proper discipline follow karte hain.”
