While some users compared the scenario to Mumbai Metro, some others could not agree with it. A user commented, “Still not as unruly. No shoving, scratching, screaming. Bombay still wears that crown.”

Another user commented, “Not everything is bad management, it’s impossible considering the crowd, office hours and other public transport.” A third user commented, “An element of discipline by commuters is also essential. The metro officials can’t be asked to manage or regulate.” A fourth user wrote, “Bangalore is the new Mumbai.”
