Vlogger impressed by Hyderabad Metro
In the video, Patterson is heard saying, “The metro is literally coming right now. Wow. The Hyderabad Metro looks super cool. I'm not gonna lie to you guys. Um, probably one of my favorite metros so far. Pretty cool. People are running to not miss this. I don't know how often it comes, maybe once every 20 minutes or something. But, uh, yeah, we will go on the metro.”
As he entered the train, he appeared surprised by the crowd and the advertisements inside. He added, “What? It's uh, pretty busy at this point of time. Oh, holy crap, there's so much advertising. Oh, advertising for good food. Uh, I can't lie, I'm not eating that stuff. But, uh, let's see if I can get a seat on the metro before it gets super busy, guys.”
