”I have to commute everywhere because I live quite far out from everyone. So on the way back home after a night out, I’d put my music on. And when you’re bumping your head, people don’t come up to you, people leave you alone a bit more. So I was feeling more safe and enjoying my journey a bit better, ” Ms Bahsoon told The BBC.
Many followers remark that they “could never do that” on public transport, to which Ms Bahsoon said, “Romanticise your journey. Trust me, no one actually cares.”
“I think that the Tube Girl has already become something more than just dancing on the Tube. So I think it’s about confidence and it’s about being more comfortable with your authentic self,” she said.
Ms. Bahsoon has had her catwalk debut at MAC Cosmetics’ London fashion show since becoming viral, and she is already being approached by other well-known brands for work.
According to the BBC, Ms. Bahsoon was raised in Malaysia before moving to the United Kingdom to study law at Durham University.
Speaking about the trend, psychologist, Dr. Sarah Ashton told ABC News, ”Public transport is a space where social norms and behaviours are often adhered to, so to see Tube Girl breaking out of those norms is unique.”
“It really makes sense that Tube Girl has had this impact because it’s really speaking to the experiences and the needs of a large portion of the population,” she added.
