The video triggered a chatter, amassing over 10,04,000 views on the platform. Reacting to it, a user wrote, “Mumbai local trains are always packed because of the city’s narrow layout along the coast, which makes it tough to expand train lines.” Another user commented, “The same guys protest against Railway/metro extension, will cry about why there are so much crowd..and it’s the same cycle goes on in India.”
“Man these mumbai locals are so suffocating ,i travelled in them a lot and the pain of travelling in Mumbai is real,” a third user reacted.
