A video of two Irish vloggers dismantling common misconceptions about the Delhi Metro, particularly those that foreigners may encounter, has gone viral on social media. In the video, the duo embarks on a journey by taking the metro, reviewing its various facilities and amenities. Additionally, they provide candid commentary on aspects that surprised them during their experience.
Isabelle Geraghty and Colin Finnerty, vloggers hailing from Vietnam, shared the video documenting their trip on their individual Instagram pages. The reel kicks off with Isabelle expressing nervousness about boarding the “best metro ever,” as described by Colin. Their journey begins at the baggage scanner area, where they find reassurance in the stringent safety measures in place. Despite encountering a closed ticket office, they navigate the system seamlessly using the electronic ticket machine. Their astonishment is palpable as they marvel at the affordability of the tickets before eagerly embarking on the rest of their adventures.
“I have never seen such calm in a metro station in my life,” states Isabelle, expressing surprise at the tranquil atmosphere in one of the world’s most densely populated cities. She remarks on the spaciousness and serenity, contrasting it with her expectations. Despite the station’s bustling activity, she finds it comfortably busy without inducing feelings of claustrophobia.
As the train arrives, the duo boards and is immediately captivated by the features of the Delhi metro. They marvel at the air-conditioned cabins, the availability of plug sockets for electronic devices, the designated seating for elderly and female passengers, and the provision of a separate carriage for women. Their journey concludes with an unexpected encounter: a massive signboard reading, “Do not make reels.” Isabelle finds the situation amusing and concludes with a light-hearted remark, “Oh well, we know now for next time, and there will be a next time because we love the Delhi metro!”
