Overcrowding on Indian Railways trains is a well-known issue. Recently, an Indian YouTuber, Nomad Shubham, shared a video comparing the packed conditions of Indian trains with the general coaches of trains in China. This video has gone viral on social media, causing a wave of amusement and disbelief among viewers.
The video, which has garnered nearly one lakh views and thousands of comments, highlights the stark contrast between train travel experiences in the two countries. In the Indian train segment, passengers can be seen crammed into every available space, with many sitting on the floor. Some are even spotted occupying the bathrooms, blocking the doors, showcasing the sheer density of passengers during peak hours.
The video’s widespread popularity underscores the reality of overcrowding in Indian trains and serves as a humorous comparison to the relatively more spacious and organized train travel in China. The video serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by Indian Railways in managing the ever-growing passenger load and the need for efficient solutions to improve the travel experience.
