Mumbai: A Japanese expat living in Mumbai has gone viral after sharing her first-hand experience of travelling on the city’s newly launched full stretch of Aqua Line of the Mumbai Metro, calling it the most reliable, clean and efficient way to commute. Her video, which captures her journey through the country’s first fully underground metro corridor, has struck a chord with viewers across social media.
Video Shows Japanese Expat's Experience Of 1st Metro Ride
In the video, she begins enthusiastically, “Ride the new Mumbai Metro Line with me for the first time! The Aqua Line just fully opened last week — and it’s Mumbai’s first underground metro line.” Explaining her reason for choosing the metro, she says, “I wanted to go home, but Google Maps showed one and a half hours by car. So I thought, why not try the new metro instead?”
During the ride, she is seen praising the route’s convenience, modern design and cleanliness. “I realised that it passes through all the key spots — Bandra, BKC, even the airport. And honestly, I kid you not, I felt like I was back in Japan — clean, safe, and perfectly on time,” she says, highlighting the smooth experience.

Accompanied by a fellow passenger named Vijay, she navigates the busy Mumbai streets toward Marol station of Metro Line 1. “I always say, a city with good public transport and walkable streets is doing something right,” she concludes, praising Mumbai’s growing metro network.
