The Patna Metro, which recently started operations in the Bihar capital, has quickly become a magnet – not just for commuters but also for viral content. A video clip widely circulated on social media showed a young woman dancing inside a metro car, with music playing in the background as she filmed herself on a reel. The clip, which was originally shared on Instagram, has garnered thousands of views and shares across platforms.

The video sparked a wave of controversy online. Many users criticized this act, describing it as a misuse of public property. Comments include: “The metro is for travel, not rollers. The authorities must act quickly,” and “Are we here to move or gain followers?” Others expressed mild amusement: “At least she’s confident. Delhi Metro rollers don’t have any of that energy!”

Patna Metro now joins the trend seen in Delhi, Mumbai and Lucknow, where commuters are increasingly using Metro trains as backdrops for social media content. While some viewers found the performance entertaining, the majority expressed concerns about public morals and passenger comfort.

The incident highlights a growing phenomenon: the intersection of social media culture and public spaces. Videos of metro balls have sparked controversy across India, with viewers divided between seeing them as harmless fun and seeing them as a disruption to daily commuting. Many noted in the comments that although the girl in the video doesn’t appear to be hurting anyone, critics say the trend could interfere with other passengers’ experience and hurt the decorum of public transportation.

Some voices online defended the video as freedom of expression. One comment read: “It doesn’t hurt anyone. Let people be creative.” But most users agreed that public places like metro trains should not become platforms for personal online popularity.

Patna Metro authorities are yet to comment, but social media continues to amplify the debate.
