Passenger Shares Video Of Ticketless Passengers Crowding AC Coach

Overcrowding in Indian rails has always been an issue, but the situation is getting worse with each passing day. Not only the general compartments but the AC coaches are also flooded with ticketless passengers who desperately take up all the space in the passageways and near the doors and gates. The passengers with reserved seats suffer the most as they do not get the service they deserve. It becomes difficult for the passengers to step into the passage or use the toilet. Even women passengers traveling alone do not feel safe in these overcrowded compartments.

Lately, several railway passengers have been taking to social media to show the alarming condition of trains. The shocking videos are going viral on social media.

An X user, recently, shared his disappointing experience on the overcrowded 2nd AC coach on Kashi Express

A man booked a seat on the 2nd AC coach of the Kashi Express had a terrible experience which he shared on X (formerly Twitter). The distressed passenger shared a video on X that shows the dire condition of the compartment. In the 24-second clip posted by Adnan Bin Sufiyan, it can be seen that the pathway is totally blocked by people who are standing and even lying on the floor. Due to a lack of space, ticketless people are standing near the gates and toilets. The pathway to the washrooms is completely blocked.

The worst thing that is visible in the video is that the doors of the coach are open with people standing in front of them. Adnan alleged that due to the open doors, the AC was not working well.
