A woman who recently visited the United Kingdom used the London Underground during her trip, but soon realised that the Namma Metro back home in Bengaluru felt far more comfortable in comparison.
In an Instagram post titled, “The metro comparison nobody talks about,” she described an experience that caught her off guard. During a ride towards Tower Bridge, she realised she was sweating inside the train, something she did not expect during a metro commute.
She explained that several trains and stations on the London Underground do not have air-conditioning, which can make journeys uncomfortable, especially during peak hours. “Even the metro stations felt like an underground railway platform without AC. During busy hours, it can get warm and crowded, which honestly came as a big cultural shock to me,” she said.

Much of the London Underground does not have air-conditioning, especially on older deep-level lines such as the Central, Bakerloo, Piccadilly and Northern. These tunnels are narrow and were built over a century ago, making it technically difficult to retrofit air-conditioning systems.
In contrast, she wrote about her experience in Bengaluru, where metro stations and trains are fully air-conditioned. “The moment I step into the metro in Bengaluru, everything is fully air-conditioned – the station and the train. It’s cool, comfortable, and designed for the weather,” she added.
