Netizens compare ‘Train to Busan’ to MRT’s ‘Train to Taft’

Which is spookier, “Train to Busan” or “Train to Taft”?

Netizens flooded social media with droll posts and memes of the Korean blockbuster film “Train to Busan” as it continues to govern theaters across the Philippines. On the other hand, people tried to compare the heinous film scenes to what’s happening on the ground at the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3.

According to netizens, the horrific reality of lining up for an hour at the nearest MRT station, waiting for the sluggish train to arrive, and pushing oneself inside the train coach which lacked proper air conditioning, can be tantamount to being chased by rabid zombies inside the train.

Some netizens morphed the “Train to Busan” movie poster into a “Train to Taft” movie poster based on actual pictures of the MRT.

“Train to Busan,” which stars Gong-yoo, Jung Yu-mi and Ma Dong-sok, was Korea’s entry to the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and was regarded as one of the highest-grossing films in Korean history.  Gianna Francesca Catolico
