Re: How People Board a Train in India
It's bloody awful that in this day and age, we find ourselves in situations where we are no better than mindless animals, shoving each other around like cattle in a line to the abattoir...

Re: How People Board a Train in India
I had to look up how people get off the train. This is tip #7 from a traveler to India: Get ready to body check someone. We have arrived at some very busy train stations and it can be crazy trying to get off the train. Indians have a strange habit of piling on the train before letting anyone else off. You will have to go through hoards of people to make your way off. Just put your head down and push and shove your way through. Nobody will mind, they will be doing the same themselves. We have even seen people pushing through open windows to try and get on the train. Strange and surreal indeed. But don’t stress yourself out, this doesn’t happen often during our entire three months of traveling on India Rail. It only occurred a few times. |
