19 Annoying Things People Need To Stop Doing In Delhi Metro

Dear fellow Metro rider,

I have been travelling in the Metro from my days in school, so it’s been a few years now. I finally have the opportunity to share my thoughts on the annoying things you do on Delhi Metro. Whether it’s during the peak hours, or not, us Indians, have forgotten how to maintain basic etiquettes in public. You and I use the Metro daily, so let’s make it a comfortable ride for all, and not just for ourselves. Here are 19 such things I wish you’d stop doing.  

1. Sitting on the Metro floor.

2. Not moving inside or making space for people to stand.

3. Unnecessarily fitting (and adjusting) yourself when there’s no space on the seat.

4. Playing loud music.

6. Eating food when there’s literally no space to breathe.
