Many of us often commute through trains or metros for work. Crowded coaches are a common sight for you during office hours if you are a daily traveller. Among the known public transport services around the country, Mumbai local trains are infamous for overcrowding.

Now, a rather light-hearted clip from a Mumbai local train has been doing rounds on the internet and it shows a man using a small makeshift stool to have a seat in a fairly crowded coach.

In Mumbai local trains, where managing a seat is quite a challenge for daily commuters, this Mumbai man’s move comes as a breath of fresh air. The video starts with the man opening his bag-pack and taking out the tiny do-it-yourself stool. He then quickly unfolds and places it on the floor between two seats. Two of his fellow passengers are also seen assisting him in the process. What comes next wins hearts of many as the man can be seen sitting on the stool, unfazed by the crowd.

The clip was shared on Instagram with a caption, “Watch till end…”

Needless to say, the video has impressed the internet community. A user quipped, “Smart….self help is the best help.” Another person wrote, “This will be followed in Mumbai locals now.” A viewer also mentioned, “Atmanirbhar Bharat…cha perfect example.”

A woman, who seems to travel is the compartment dedicated to them, noted: “In ladies compartment they say am suffocating air is not coming, if u sit how can we stand n sitting people say we don’t have space to keep our legs, finally arguments continues then will kick the stool n pull the hair out.”

Someone simply called the man “Boss” while another added, “POV: you are a true Mumbaikar.” Meanwhile, a person pointed out why it is not a possible solution and stated, “This can increase bag weight, not practical to do for most people.”
