Woman shares Bengaluru Metro experience
The video carries the text, “Bengaluru Metro discipline that deserves appreciation.”Masood said, “The best thing about Bangalore Metro is that the people here board and deboard the train in a very disciplined manner. On seeing ladies, they immediately offer them a seat. And you don’t need to worry about the items kept in your bag, because pickpocketing doesn’t happen here.”Her comments cover three parts of her experience: how passengers manage boarding and deboarding, their approach to seating, and her sense of comfort while carrying belongings.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.ID@undefined Caption not available.
