Irish travel influencer Sean Hammond has been living in India for some time. He recently posted on Instagram about his experience on the local train in Mumbai. He compared the journey to the London Tube in the video, which went viral and left social media fans in awe.

A New Adventure Begins

The video begins with Sean standing outside a busy train station, gearing up for what he expected to be a chaotic experience. “So, I am about to take the train in Mumbai City, which is famously chaotic. Let's see how it goes,” he says.

Rs 5 Ticket to Bandra East

Sean bought a Rs 5 ticket for his journey to Bandra East and boarded the train. Initially, he observed, “It's not actually that busy,” but things changed quickly as the train became crowded with people rushing in and out.

Comparing It to London's Tube

Even amidst the rush, Sean found the experience surprisingly manageable. “I've heard so many crazy things about this train service, but it was way more relaxed than I thought. Honestly, it's just like getting the Tube in London,” he said.

Ceiling Fans: A Unique Feature

One thing that caught Sean's attention was the ceiling fans inside the train. He appreciated how they helped keep passengers cool and added, “It only costs Rs 5 for a 20-minute journey. All in all, you really can't complain,” in his post caption.

Viral Video with Bollywood Tunes

The video, set to the popular Bollywood song Chaiyya Chaiyya, connected with viewers. Many people praised Sean's upbeat attitude and expressed satisfaction in the affordability of Mumbai's local trains.
