An American woman named Liz has gone viral after praising the Mumbai Metro in an Instagram video. Calling it cleaner than New York's subway, she applauded its affordability, air conditioning, safety features, and women's compartments. "America needs to learn from India," she said. The video sparked proud and humorous reactions from Indians, with many urging her to try Mumbai's local trains next.
For millions of Mumbaikars, the metro is an everyday necessity. But for an American tourist experiencing it for the first time, it was nothing short of eye-opening.
A US content creator named Liz has gone viral on Instagram after sharing her first ride on the Mumbai Metro. In the video, aptly titled “Mumbai Metro Experience,” she couldn’t stop raving about the city’s modern public transport system, even going so far as to say that America could take notes from India.
The video begins with Liz purchasing her ticket and praising how affordable the ride is. “I’m in Mumbai and taking the metro for the first time. One ticket is only Rs 20,” she says excitedly.
As she enters the station, Liz is visibly impressed by the spotless surroundings and safety measures in place. “The station’s so clean, and I love the doors here. It’s so safe,” she remarks while walking through the metro premises.

But the surprises didn’t stop there. Comparing the experience with her home country, Liz admitted that the Mumbai Metro exceeded her expectations. “Wow, first impression, it’s so much cleaner than the Metro New York. And it’s really cold. It is so hot in Mumbai, so the air conditioning feels so nice,” she says in the clip.
Another feature that particularly caught her attention was the presence of dedicated compartments for women, something she hadn’t encountered elsewhere. “Over here, they have the women’s compartment, and I haven’t seen that in any other countries. The metro here is excellent. America needs to learn from India.”
