**so, u’ve purchased ur ticket and u’ve arrived at the train station, ready to board the train that will take u to ur destination.
but wait a minute, did i mention that i’ve a second class ticket good for travel in un-reserved, non airconditioned coach…u’ve to see to believe that whoever said “getting there is half the fun” srely didn’t experience this.
this is the usual scene when a long distance train arrives at an intermediary major station during seasonal rush due to religious/cultural holidays. here, the coaches are already jam-packed and there are hundreds of people who want to get in. getting-in in itself is quite an struggle. see for urself. these coaches have cross-bars on all windows, how many passengers would be trying to get-in thru the windows if they didn’t have bars. at mark 3:07, the guy makes it thru the EMERGENCY window and tries to get a huge BORA in lol…what a moron!
on a serious note, just imagine if there is a fire! how many will burn alive with no chance to escape.
**this is the end-result of over population. inspite of dozens of long distance trains with 24 coaches in each everyday, there are scenes like this thru out the country, especially those trains that are heading to metroplolis, like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Bangalore, Hyderabad etc.
