As a south indian i have advice for fellow south indians: never travel in sleeper class in trains travelling through UP, bihar, assam bcz others with no tickets will sit in ur seat irrespective of ur reservation n doesn’t let u sit. (Saying out of my own experience)
Sad reality is that most of the ticket-less passengers aren't the ones who can't afford, but they simply don't want to spend even if they can afford the tickets. They know that TTEs and the Railway police won't do anything. Very often you have to fight for your reserved berth with these without ticket people and they even act like goons and hijack the seat.
General + Bihar +Festivals = Boom 🔥🔥
When I went to Vietnam, I was surprised the way they have maintained the trains there. People take responsibility to take care of the train.
Ghutka should be banned
Simple formula: Never travel in general coach if you are travelling in UP - Bihar route. Overcrowding is ok..but uncleanliness is not ok. I am from Bihar and what I realised that AC coaches are much cleaner. This shows that education has a big role to play.
One mega point is about 64% of railways revenue is spent on salaries, pensions and more on other perks. Which is insane for a PSU with staff to user ratio is very high. I knew a 80yr old dadima collecting around 40k in railway pension of her late husband who passed in mid nineties. This problem is there with many gov departments. This limits on how much money can be spent on actual infra. Also bureaucracy is insane with British mindset and many levels especially lower levels. NRMU has opposition to all major changes that can let rail earn more but jeopardize their jobs or even stop recruiting in future. Veg-automatic ticket gates, guard less trains etc etc. The rot is internal and external
This is an excellent topic! Foreigner here giving her two cents on this topic. I have traveled on Indian trains many times. As a tourist, I can afford a better train class, that's a reality. In 2019 I traveled from Agra to Varanasi on a sleeper train and the experience was really, really bad. I will say this with respect to the dignity of people in India: there is a general lack of hygiene that has nothing to do with how slow or fast or modern is a train. People are not capable of using a washroom in a civilized manner! I truly don't understand why people throw their garbage on the streets. Why people damage a toilet throwing all sorts of garbage! I had to literally stand in the washroom, doing a split to use the toilet!!! It was filthy to a level of almost vomiting. The problem is that people in India are not willing to change the way they used to do things in the past but expect to have a better life. The main problem is in their minds. It feels as if people don't care about basic hygiene and social manners.
Indian train remind me why we are still a "third world" country, hope the situation improves drastically
The problem is not only with trains Our whole country is so dirty and crowded
The simple reason is INDIAN MINDSET. People don't care about public property. And tbh i dont see any major change in this mindset anytime soon 😑😑
I swear to God, I'll never watch a video on Indian Railways while having food. They always have a toilet scene 😂
As a person who has worked on contracts for indian railway. the work on govt logistics side for sanctioning works(6~9months after tender), allocating funds etc etc. for track work and other railway projects is extremely slow. The only time work is done faster when there is election interest. Then there is the corruption on every step of the whole railway dept. I am not aware of passenger experience side so cannot comment on day to day of these things.
Not Just in India its the problem of whole South Asia
Problem is the culture is not hygienic and lack cleanliness. You can see that in every facet of Indian life
As someone from kerala, we normally avoid SL class of trains going / coming from Bihar, UP, Bengal, Jharkhand and Assam. There is no way someone can enter in it. The smell would be horrible of Gudka and they put trash all over the floor. Toilet will be a mess and there will be double the occupancy in SL.😂🙏
Moral-Lack of population control
I think it also aligns with how the public uses it. I have seen workers cleaning it at regular intervals but people just eat and throw under the seats. And the last time I traveled some criminals on the train were constantly yelling at us to give them money. Luckily police came in time and got them out of the train. I couldn't sleep well that night. It was a lot traumatic and I thought we were going to get ourselves punched. 😑
Man as a rail fan its heart breaking when Railways and Trains suffer.
