'Rail saga continues for #mumbai – kars, whether it's regular line or Metro where lakhs travel daily. Difficult to fathom, why is the globally recognised City sidelined & given lower priority, when it comes to essential & quality civic facilities & services!" another user said.
'This has been happening for years now. Why does this get ignored by the authorities? Metro 1 is now like our Local train. Why can't they learn from L2, L7, which are so well maintained in all respects," said a third.
A fourth user said,"It seems before boarding the station, commuters should be given crowd management defence training."

Stampede-like situation in Mumbai Metro as trains get delayed due to technical issue, see videos
A stampede-like situation broke out at the Mumbai Metro as commuters were stranded on the platform due to train delays. Several videos have emerged on social media, igniting safety concerns. A viral video shows a sea of commuters struggling to manoeuvre freely on the metro platform. Several commuters can be seen recording the chaos on their phones while slowly moving forward. Mumbai Metro authorities informed that the sudden rush stemmed from a train delay due to a technical issue. As per a report in Hindustan Times, the train could not achieve the target speed and had to be withdrawn, leading to a delay on the Versova Ghatkopar Line 1. The authorities further clarified that the issue was fixed and the Metro operations resumed.

Watch: Panic in Mumbai Metro as coach fills with smoke; video goes viral
A video showing panic-stricken passengers trapped inside a smoke-filled Mumbai Metro coach is going viral on X (formerly Twitter). The incident reportedly took place near Devipada station on the Red Line, sparking concerns about safety and emergency response protocols on the city's driverless metro system. The video, shared by commuter Yogesh Namjoshi, shows thick smoke engulfing the metro coach as confused passengers look around in distress. Namjoshi revealed that the metro came to a halt at Devipada station despite a massive fire outside, where a private bus had caught fire near Borivali. 'Faced a very serious emergency situation on #MumbaiMetro #RedLine at #Devipada station #Borivali. A huge fire broke out outside the metro station, but the train still stopped and opened its doors,' Namjoshi wrote in his post. — unplugged_yogi (@unplugged_yogi) According to him, passengers were unaware of the source of the smoke, and no announcements were made to explain the situation. 'After a few minutes, the doors closed again, and we anxiously waited for the train to move as the smoke inside was getting thicker.' Live Events Shockingly, the doors were opened a second time, for reasons unknown, allowing even more smoke to enter and creating widespread panic. 'Some passengers assumed the reopening of the doors meant it was time to deboard. But no emergency communication was provided,' he added. Eventually, the train resumed its journey and passengers were evacuated at the next station. By then, the coaches were already filled with smoke. Namjoshi criticized the metro authorities for what he called a 'serious lapse in emergency protocols,' especially given that the train operates without a driver. 'The pilot is supposed to manage emergency responses, but in this case, the actions taken made the situation worse,' he said. He also noted that metro staff at the next station did not check if anyone required medical assistance. 'Lakhs of Mumbaikars, including myself, consider the metro a safe mode of transport. Incidents like this shake our faith in the system,' he concluded. The incident occurred around 4:30–5:00 PM, raising concerns about the consequences had it happened during peak hours in a fully packed train.
