A VVIP on the Churchgate-Dadar local

February 28, 2017 14:46

World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva travelled in a Mumbai local train from Churchgate to Dadar. That, for those who are not familiar with Mumbai, is travelling in peak hours but in the opposite direction, against the crowd. Which means the trains are almost empty.

This is how Twitter reacted...

Gtix‏ @TheFatBoho Churchgate to Dadar is literally the stoner-chill route of the local. Lemme see the CEO go from Ghatkopar to Dadar without getting suicidal
