Indian woman living in Germany has this one heartfelt message for Delhi Metro
A Delhi woman studying in Germany, posted an Instagram video saying she misses the Delhi Metro every day. Her post drew humour, agreement and comparisons as users weighed Delhi's network against systems abroad.
An Indian woman living in Germany shared an unexpectedly emotional appreciation post for the Delhi Metro, saying moving abroad made her realise just how much she had underappreciated the city’s public transport system.
Mahika Sharma, a woman from Delhi who recently moved to Germany for her master’s degree and regularly shares mini vlogs about navigating life abroad, posted the video on Instagram while reflecting on the things she misses most about home.
In the clip, Mahika was seen travelling through Germany’s public transport system, sharing snippets of herself sitting inside trains and commuting around the city. As the visuals played, she spoke candidly in the background about unexpectedly missing the Delhi Metro.
“Dear Delhi Metro and DMRC, I miss you so much every single day and I miss travelling in you so much,” she said, before laughing at how strange the sentence sounded.
Mahika went on to explain that while Germany’s public transport system felt safe and efficient, it still did not compare to her experience commuting in Delhi.
“I have told everyone how Delhi Metro is the best in the world,” she said, adding, “I’m not saying it’s bad here, okay, it’s really safe, it’s really efficient but it is not DMRC.”
Introducing herself to viewers, she explained that she had recently moved from Delhi to Germany for higher studies and was still adjusting to a new lifestyle, weather, and culture. While there were many things she enjoyed, from shopping and cooking to experiencing a different way of life, she admitted there were also many things she deeply missed.
Reflecting on her time in Delhi, Mahika said living abroad had made her appreciate the metro system in a completely different way.
“I have always appreciated Delhi Metro but coming here just made me realise how much I’ve underappreciated it,” she said, before adding, “Literally, I know there are 20,000 things that are bad about Delhi, but Delhi Metro is not one of them.”
Ending the video with a heartfelt note, she thanked the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation for its efficiency and said Delhiites think about and appreciate the service more than they may realise.
The clip was shared with the caption: “This is a Delhi metro appreciation post aka, the best transportation system in the whole world, @officialdmrc we all miss u DMRC Stan.”

Social media users reacted with a mix of agreement, humour, and friendly debate. Some commenters jokingly pointed out the timing of the praise, indirectly mentioning recent delays and sharing experiences of being stuck inside metro tunnels during rush hour.
Others compared metro systems across cities, with some users indirectly teasing that, despite complaints, Delhi commuters were still in a better position than those navigating overcrowded systems elsewhere.
Several commenters also strongly agreed with Mahika’s take, indirectly calling the Delhi Metro underrated and praising how well-connected, efficient, and convenient the network feels once people experience public transport systems abroad.
