The video has sparked a wave of online debate. Many users criticised the act, calling it a misuse of public property. Comments include:

“Metro is for travel, not for reels. Authorities should act fast,” and “Are we here to commute or gain followers?” Others expressed mild amusement: “At least she’s confident. Delhi Metro reels had nothing on this energy!”

Patna Metro is now joining the trend seen in Delhi, Mumbai, and Lucknow, where commuters increasingly use metro trains as backdrops for social media content. While some viewers found the performance entertaining, the majority voiced concerns about public etiquette and passenger convenience.

The incident highlights a growing phenomenon: The intersection of social media culture and public spaces. Videos of metro reels have sparked debates across India, with viewers divided between seeing them as harmless fun and as disruptions to daily commuting. Many in comments note that while the girl in the video did not appear to harm anyone, critics argue that the trend can interfere with other passengers’ experience and compromise the decorum of public transport.

Some online voices defended the video as freedom of expression. One comment read, “She’s not hurting anyone. Let people be creative.” But most users agreed that public spaces like metro trains should not become stages for personal online popularity.

The Patna Metro authorities have yet to comment, but social media continues to amplify the discussion.
