I'm the OP of the Kolkata metro vs Mumbai Metro post and I have one universal reply for all the backlash

https://www.reddit.com/r/kolkata/s/2MKIZNlTom

Can't reply to so much hate one by one which was first of all totally unexpected and secondly a waste of my time. Ei post ta was more like an emotional/ sentimental one, that typical bangali who romanticizes the city. In no way I'm trying to ignore the tons of other problems Kolkata has. The post was to highlight two things:

1) how a system inaugurated in 2025 collapsed and how something built in 1985 stands solid straight.

2) I am from Delhi and I know Delhi metro better than anyone else on this sub. Yes Delhi metro has a far wider network than Kolkata, but at the same time Kolkata metro is comparatively giving the time benefit better. For example the time it takes to go from Dum Dum to Park Street, is undeniably much faster in metro than by road. But in Delhi, the system is a bit complex so some commuters find going by road faster due to multiple changes you have to make. I honestly found Kolkata metro more promising in that sense. Plus the cost benefit is IMMENSE, Delhi metro is much more expensive, fyi.

Lastly, amake frog of the well bole kono laabh neyi. I have seen the country much much more than some of you all. Ami jaani ki bolchi ami. Kolkata has tons of problems and it is saddening that the city has lost the gravity it had once. However I would still put my money into the city for many more practical considerations like cost of living, better traffic management vis a vis a lot other cities. Last but not the least, love for the city. Yes I'm settled in Delhi but I love Kolkata nonetheless. I have the right to have a bias and no one can question that.

You all are the reason why Kolkata is facing the challenges you guys are complaining. Someone like me just made a small observation about the metro system and it invited so much hate. Bangalider ei unnecessary mejaaj er jonnei lokera hesitant thaake kaaj korte okhane. Aar tomader jokhon eto complaint eto ghenna nijeder shohor er proti tahole barbar Trinamool ke vote dao keno? Vote diyecho bhogo.

কালকে একটি বাজে আঁকা post করে সবাইকে অত্যাচার করেছি। তাই আজকে apology হিসেবে দুটো decent আঁকা দিলাম।
