An Australian travel content creator has gone viral on social media for a video expressing her astonishment and delight at the seamless food delivery service available on Indian trains. In a video, Bec McColl described the experience as "the coolest thing ever," noting that such a convenient service is uncommon in her home country of Australia.
In her video, filmed while on a moving train, McColl shows off a pizza and French fries she ordered. The delivery agent met her at a scheduled station stop to hand over the food right to her seat/carriage, coordinated through an app. She says, "India is so cool. I just ordered pizza and french fries on a train that is moving, and the delivery driver actually met me on the train. How sick is that? That is so cool."
A text overlay in the clip stated, "India is ahead of the times when it comes to this!!"
