It looks like they are trying to get to a seat, but I'm thinking I would just want to be closer to the exit once it gets really packed. Like how do I swim through a sea of bodies to get back out
To put things in perspective, the volume of travellers going through Mumbai train station EVERY HOUR is equivalent to the entire population of New Zealand!
When open doors you will force your populace into a scarcity mindset. What you see here are people who have grown up with this situation. The UK will also be like this eventually.
Can confirm SA happens. I am a western woman who had an overnight cabin with no locks on a mixed train in India back in early 2000s (with my boyfriend in said cabin). Woke up to a hand down my top in the middle the night. Too trusting I guess in the locals.
No not really, they get in just like this on ANY carriage... In the general one, SA is definitely a risk, but the bigger risk would be getting hit by a elbow or 2....
Not that I can afford travel anyway being American and not born into wealth, but it’s a shame India is as flawed as it is. It has some of the most beautiful cultural practices, some great food, and the landscape is stunning. There are just so many hardline dealbreakers tho that if I were born there I would be unhappy with it. Mumbai has urban beauty but it’s dirty and I’d be scared of theft and such. The rural parts are beautiful naturally, but the poverty is out of hand and I’d be scared of SA.

Which is?
5.3-5.4 million according to the googles
That’s crazy.
Thats actually fucked no way thats true.
Why all videos from India remind me of some kind of hunger games kind of shit
As a Brit and someone who would form an orderley queue to get on a bicycle, this is horrifying
I love how you had to flaunt your very structured British lifestyle.
Yeah it’s a shame none of that order rubbed off on India during colonization
True
Are xenomorphs secretly pakistani?
Chinese own the ip now, I hear. Xenomorph loves acid blood, and has a firm stance on the border dispute.
You take what you get here... Else miss out...
Just get to the front of the queue first.
That would happen if you miss the train you were supposed to catch... also u could be pushed onto the tracks as well... Had to do this for 4 years...

Oh i didnt realize r/nope is the nazi bar du jour
Has nothing to do with race and everything to do with resources. But whatever makes you feel better.
Women desperate to get on the women carriage so they aren't SA by the men.

Huh?

that is literally the reason they have women only carriages.
Would you rather take an elbow or a dick? 😂
I don't know if I can fit an elbow there.
Ah yes India, the absolute opposite of Japan.
Crazy it’s the same process of packing into trains but one is civilised and one is not at all.
Japan trains weren’t crazy at all in my experience. Maybe because everyone is so respectful it didn’t seem so bad.
TIL Indians have front packs instead of backpacks
Its easier to prevent theft, and probably saves a little time sitting down
fuckin nope
Normal in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai. For most of the country situation isn't this bad

It's normal in here the trains are lifeline of mumbai

Reverse parachute jump?
Soon this will happens to your city, just sad
That is what I would call overpopulation.

They're doing it to get a seat so they don't have to stand for yonks

If you have three people per square meter it can be.
