In the video, which has gone viral, he gives an “honest review” of the metro system, praising it for being clean, efficient, and well-connected.Owen mentions that many foreign tourists worry about getting scammed by rickshaw drivers when they visit Delhi. However, he suggests that instead of dealing with overpriced rides, they should use the metro, which is a reliable and affordable option.

But, to his surprise, the city has an impressive metro system that isn’t talked about enough.
As he explores, he shows the metro’s clean interiors and talks about ticket prices. He also records a metro station, pointing out well-known stores like KFC, Adidas, and Crocs.

Shared just a day ago, the video quickly gained attention, receiving numerous likes and comments from social media users.
Many users engaged with Owen’s video, sharing their thoughts on India’s transportation system. One user praised the development of metro stations, commenting, "Too many options for food, utilities everywhere, which is a very good development in recent times. These amenities weren’t available 10 years ago." Another user compared the situation to Mumbai, suggesting, "Same in Mumbai. Try the local or metro instead of a taxi or rickshaw. It's too expensive for a rickshaw or taxi."
A third user appreciated Owen’s content and encouraged him to explore Indian Railways, writing, "Thanks for educating people and sharing your insights! Love your videos! Would be great if you could make a video about the new Indian Railways, like the Vande Bharat Express and the sophisticated AC coaches. It's amazing how one can travel from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in comfort, covering the length of the country, for just around $60!"
