Often times, talk about India’s shortcomings spreads on social media, but this time the story is quite the opposite. A foreign tourist praised India’s metro system so much that people were surprised to hear from him. A traveler from Japan who came to visit India said that Chennai Metro is better than New York Metro and hence the issue gained momentum on the internet. The video has become a topic of discussion on the internet and now the debate has also started on whether Chennai Metro is better than Delhi Metro?
Chennai Metro has won the hearts of foreigners
While posting on social media platform X, the Japanese tourist said that he traveled in Chennai Metro and was very impressed with the facilities there. He particularly praised the platform’s screen doors and the excellent air conditioning system. He wrote that the facilities here are better than the New York subway.
🇮🇳Chennai, India
I took the metro and went to the long distance bus station to explore the site. This platform has a platform door and the air conditioner works. The facilities are absolutely better than the New York subway (lol) pic.twitter.com/K2HdodtkOb— Hiro_bkp48 (@hiro_bkp48) May 24, 2026
Users said, Chennai Metro is the cleanest metro
As soon as this post went viral, the controversy began on social media. Many people said that good things about India rarely go viral. Some users described Chennai Metro as the cleanest and best-maintained metro in the country, while some described it as “underrated”.
The metro shows its strength even in numbers
Chennai Metro has become the choice for millions of commuters every day. In April alone, more than 90,000 people used it, while more than 3.6,000 passengers traveled per day. It is clear that they are not only great in appearance, but also in use. But amidst this discussion, another discussion arose and people started asking whether Chennai Metro is better than Delhi Metro? Although the Delhi Metro network is much larger than that of Chennai, it is considered the most balanced network in the country.
Delhi Metro was also praised
This is not the first time a foreigner has praised India’s metro system. Earlier, a commuter described the Delhi Metro as better than the London Underground. It was praised for its cleanliness, modern facilities and less crowding. Let us tell you that Delhi is the largest metro network in the country with millions of people traveling on it daily.
