DMRC shares 'How it started vs How it ended' meme, netizens can relate
The DMRC recently shared a meme that perfectly sums up the year 2020 with just two pictures. Netizens are loving the humour as they also shared their own jokes.
2020 has been one of the most wobbly years in the recent past, particularly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has gripped the world by its throat. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) recently shared a meme that perfectly sums up the year 2020 with just two pictures. DMRC shared two pictures on its official Twitter handle - one from the beginning of 2020 and another from towards the end of 2020.
In the first picture, captioned "How it started", commuters inside one of the Delhi Metro trains can be seen standing and sitting next to each other without worrying about contracting the COVID-19 virus. However, in the second picture titled "How it ended", people can be seen sitting with a gap of at least one empty seat in the between, while nobody standing in the middle. The sight is absolutely rare inside a Delhi metro train because of the gigantic amount of commuters in the city who use public transport.
Netizens respond
Netizens have flooded the comment section of the post with their own memes and jokes, while Delhiites shared an alternate reality from inside the metro that DMRC probably chose to ignore. Several users shared pictures of packed Delhi metro trains, where commuters can be seen not giving two hoots about the protocols put in place by authorities to control the spread of COVID-19. One individual highlighted the social distancing stickers put inside the trains are just 1 yard apart from each other instead of the 2-yard recommendation issued by health officials.
