A digital creator from the UK recently travelled in the Delhi Metro probably for the first time and left surprised with its cleanliness and affordability. He even stated that it looked better than the London Underground transit system.

Foreign National Praises Delhi Metro

In the beginning, Porter shared that passengers are required to go through security check at first and put their bags through the X-ray machine, similar to how it needs to be done at the airport. Later on, they are allowed at the platform.

He said that he paid Rs 43 (0.35 pounds or $0.47) for the half-hour-long journey, calling it “very, very cheap”.

“Probably, one

of the cheapest train or metros I have been on in the world,” Porter stated.

While on the platform, Porter showed the metro on the other side and talked about the modern-looking coaches.

Once he entered the metro, Porter was left surprised. “They are very clean indeed… smells very nice. Lots of seats. Extremely modern…I mean, look at this. It is not very overcrowded either. There’s plenty of seats. There’s no one really standing up,” he said.

The foreign national said it could be “one of the best ones I have been on in the world.”

“Very efficient, lots of stations. Better than London. That’s one of the best metros I have been on. Very nice, all air-conditioned, very clean, very modern,” he concluded.

In the caption, he wrote, “£0.35 Journey on Delhi’s Metro”.
