The Mumbai Metro Showers

Commuters of the Mumbai Metro had a surprise as water suddenly started pouring from an AC vent in a carriage.

The Mumbai Metro promptly responded on Twitter, apologising for the situation and assuring that it would be corrected soon.

We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers today. (1/2)

The Mumbai Metro was launched on June 8 and is yet to reach its first-month anniversary.

There was no stopping the Twitterati and it didn't take much time for the issue to trend on Twitter.

Ever stand there in the shower, naked, vulnerable, drenched & feel like someone's watching you? Then realise you're just on the MumbaiMetro?

Welcome to Mumbai Metro Rain. The platform will be on the left bank. Mind the gap between the door and the river bed.
