Mumbai local trains, Reddit user, surprise man with umbrella

Mumbai’s local trains are the lifeline of its people, carrying millions of commuters across the bustling metropolis every day. These trains play a vital role in connecting the city’s various suburbs and facilitating the daily commute for countless residents.

A Surprising Encounter

A Reddit user shared a viral post in the r/mumbai subreddit, showcasing a crowded AC coach in a Mumbai local train where a man was calmly standing with an open umbrella as fellow passengers looked on.

“Everyday there is something new to see in locals. What interesting things you all have seen in local trains?” the OP captioned the image.

Social media users were both amused and confused by the presence of the man with the open umbrella inside the train coach.

One user questioned if he was protecting himself from a leaky roof or simply drying the umbrella. Another jokingly suggested protecting from UV rays emitted by tubelights.

Another user speculated that the man may have not had enough space and time to close the umbrella without causing inconvenience to others.

Unusual Mumbai Local Train Moments

This incident is not the first of its kind on Mumbai’s local trains. In a similar viral post last year, a man was seen boarding a crowded train with his own portable chair.

Getting a seat on a Mumbai local during rush hour can be challenging. The man in the video unfolded his plastic stool from his backpack and sat down, unfazed by the chaos around him.

As he noticed someone filming him, the man even flashed a victory sign, proud of his unconventional seating arrangement.
