The Mumbai Metro was inaugurated not long ago after a really, really long wait of 8 years. And it's about time. Here's why Mumbaikars desperately needed and passionately love our new metro.

Bragging rights over Delhi.

I have lived in and loved both cities, but it’s no secret that Mumbaikars love Mumbai and are perennially in competition with Delhi. Well, IN YOUR FACE, Delhi, we now have our own Metro! Now, Delhi only has its excellent roads and buses to brag about. Damn.

It's the only air conditioned form of mass transit we have.

No more sweaty encounters of the bad kind with random strangers. Even if the coach gets packed.
