'Bring Your Own Seat': Mumbai Man's 'Jugad' To Sit Inside Crowded Train Wins Internet

Mumbai's local trains are considered the city's lifeline, with approximately 3.7 million people commuting daily.

Mumbai local trains are famous for being overcrowded, and daily commuters consider themselves lucky if they find a seat for the whole way. But this man's ingenious idea has won the hearts of netizens.

In the video that is going viral, the man can be seen calmly opening his backpack and taking out a foldable plastic stool. He sets the seat on the floor between two seats and sits comfortably in the crowded coach. Towards the end of the video, he looks right at the camera and flashes a victory sign.
