10 TIPS FOR DELHI METRO

10 rules of Delhi metro

Metro in foreign countries is way to travel and Delhi metro gives you signal to switch your war mode on. Finding a seat at Rajiv chowk is like………………. error 404…..comparison not found. Delhi metro saves your time, money and enhances your ability to flow with the crowd. So here are the 10 rules or we can say tips to travel in Delhi metro

1. Hold your soul and let the body travel

No need to jostle while getting into a metro. Let the crowd carry your body to your destination. It doesn’t matter whether you are getting out or in, if the metro station is well known for its crowd, you just need to stand and people will carry you easily without any fee.

2. Queue is just a mirage

Let me explain the real logic behind queue for metro; it is just a way make easy passage for people coming out of metro, after that nobody knows what a queue means because “hum jaha se khade hote hai line wahi se suru hoti hai”.

3. Never stand on the gate if it’s Rajiv chowk and you aren’t getting out

Have you ever felt Tsunami?  Then try this. People will thrust you and while figuring out what happened, you will find yourself out of the metro. Be at the back side and if not, you need a strong grip to let the Tsunami pass by you.

4. Don’t believe on your eyes, have faith on your power    

If a metro is coming and you see people stuck on glass door, looking like if the door will open, people will fall like rice from a tilted packet, then just close your eyes for a second and think “what I see is not true, my body will surely get through”. Just follow a simple rule, there is always space.

5.Too much of luggage? Metro is not for you

You must have seen people carrying too much of luggage with them but they are made from the flesh of great warriors and every one can’t live like them. They can carry anything and roam freely  but everyone can’t. It is better to take an auto or taxi.

6.”Excuse me, utarna hai aapkoo”

This line you have heard more than “Darwaje daai taraf khulenge”. It’s not like if you want to get out, you can do it without saying anything (Whitewalkers are exception). You need to ask every single person standing between you and your door of destination that whether he is getting out on the next metro station or not and stop if someone says “yes” because at the end he will make way for you.

7. Seats with no green signal are confirmed.

Try to find seats with nothing written as “For ladies only” or “For old and physically challenged” because that seat is like a waiting ticket in Indian railway, you can be anytime to get up.

8. Mobile phones are the most vulnerable thing

It’s better to keep it in your shirt’s pocket or in your bag because stealing a mobile phone at crowded metro stations, inside a metro is very easy for pickpocket. They will steal it in a second and pass it to their mate in a fraction of second. Even if you catch that person, stealing from your pocket, you will find nothing.

9. 8-11 Am and 4-7 PM, prefer not to travel

It ‘s office time(war mode) and if you are not in hurry, prefer not to travel between this time.

10. Yellow line is for fun

Nobody follows the rule of yellow line and its like the yellow signal on traffic, time to go. Yellow has been a fun color of people and they do the same with the yellow line on metro station. The announcement of “Please stand behind the yellow line” and people think “lolz, that was quite funny” but you should follow the rule because safety comes first.
