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 😑😑

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.

Ghutka should be banned

Problem is the culture is not hygienic and lack cleanliness. You can see that in every facet of Indian life

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.

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.

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 Pakistan Bangladesh India etc Its a habit we South Asian can never change, so don't expect it will happen in future too. These are basic morals that have to be taught from home

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 If you ever want to see NMRUs mindset, just go to any rail office and see the kind of pics they have on their calenders.

General + Bihar +Festivals = Boom 🔥🔥

I swear to God, I'll never watch a video on Indian Railways while having food. They always have a toilet scene 😂

Actually south trains are very clean, every year we go to banglore from solapur(Maharashtra) to our grandparents home, never so dirty toilets but in some rural places near banglore people ask you to adjust seat but when you refuse they'll go away! but in AC compartments I dont face any problems

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)

Moral-Lack of population control -Lack of discipline

I had boarded a special train to go to a pilgrimage place and what you said is correct. Special train only increases the traffic among the trains. Most of the time they allow other trains to go ahead at an intersection and keeps the special train on a hold. Our train was rescheduled twice and then it was 15 hrs late.

Man as a rail fan its heart breaking when Railways and Trains suffer.

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. 😑

Indian train remind me why we are still a "third world" country, hope the situation improves drastically

All of these problems stem from overpopulation and infrastructure (education and transport) not being able to keep up with it. Not promoting birth control after independence has been this country's greatest mistake.

As a Railway Employee I totally agree with your arguments. That's why the Dedicated Freight Corridor is being constructed, once it's fully operational we can see the huge traffic for Goods Trains also we will have less traffic on the main line where Passenger Trains are being operated so that we can run more passengers trains with punctuality and eventually it'll benefit Indian Railways.

I have travelled in patna kota many times as a kota student , i have faced this hygiene issue even in 2nd nd 3rd Ac .And ABOUT timing can't really say, i once reached my home patna from kota in 35 HOURS . NEVER felt better that this issue is getting acknowledged.

I recently visited France, Italy and Switzerland, and after using their Public transport, I can say that we have a long way to go.

You forgot to mention the damaged steel Toilet mug attached with chains in every train😅😅😅

Indian Railways during RamRajya😂😂😂😂

During school i had to take the metro in Calcutta, i was almost accustomed to access controlled railways. But during college for tuitions i had to take the local trains.while i and most of my batchmates had monthly tickets, a majority of the daily short distance travellers didnt have any tickets and they flounted it.. i still find it very weird. Grown men and women not taking a ticket and proud of it.

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.

I went to a general train as a student... It was a poop water overflow in the toilet... no place to seat and even the train outer part had poop...😢 that was a nightmare journey for me as a student...

Indians ko UPSC/sarkari jobs chahiyeh, Quality life toh western and European countries me hai, it will take another century for Indians to realize quality and health/cleanliness etc

I had the honour to meet the DRDO scientist who made this bio digester! Such a great and humble person. He has an amazing sense of humour. Thank you Dr AK Goel ji

The biggest jumla is certain "Desh ka Garib jaayega kaha.." but let me tell you about a particular incident. One of my friends boarded an express train from Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction. He was inside a general coach and the train was scheduled to reach the destination (station closest to our university) the next day at around 11:30 am. We were there to meet with him at the station. He is from a pretty stable, rather rich background. He has a Kawasaki ZX-10R, uses a MacBook Pro and has an iPhone Pro series handset. When we asked him why he was travelling in such an uncomfortable and crowded coach when the very same train had AC 1st, 2 and 3 tier coaches, he said that he didn't spend any money on the ticket and got mixed with the crowd in order to evade the Ticket Collector. I have many such friends who have this mentality and show spending negligence for travelling in trains.😢

Saara paisa crony capitalists ko de doge aur election me kharch kardoge to fir railway department ko Dene ke liye paise kaha se aayenge ? Most of the government sectors ka yahi haal hai. Salaries Dene ko paise nahi hai. Kyu nahi hai ? Kyuki saara paisa crony capitalists, politicians aur election campaigns me jata hai. And yes I agree with what is said in this video. Involvement of both government and private players are important in this sector. That's called a mixed economy. Good video 👍

I was going to IIT MADRAS this year for admission from Bhubaneswar to Chennai 🙃. My ticket got cancel😭.... And i had to go through Unreserved, . And it was my Nightmare 😭 People's were crowded. I had to stand straight for 16 hours straight, I only move when someone needed Toliet, Smells were Worst 🤮🤮 No one there was supportive. I am still in Trauma but seeing that situation. I will never go to train if i am Unreserved. Only Indian Population is growing but trains are same like 90s only - Indian huge population can't withstand this. Govt. Should do something

Hygiene along with moral science must be taught strictly in primary schools.

I was a student till last year and often made train journeys from West Bengal to Tamil Nadu. Before my college, I never travelled anything but sleeper non AC. But one journey from WB to TN made me gag cuz me and my father couldn't use the washroom 1.5 days💀 as it was overflowing. Since then I'm using AC compartment so to ensure the washrooms aren't dirty. The problem still persist. A majority from North belt come to South as labourers. And in AC, majority are bangladeshi patients who come to South hospitals for better treatment. One may find me discriminatory, but I endured worst toilets and to flush them myself and it was only because of these people. We also need to educate people who can pay Rs 2k tickets but trash openly. Not always the Railways are wrong. Edit- Stop fighting here. I didn't mean Biharis. It's the Bangladeshi people who can afford AC tickets and still won't flush their toilets. Y'all don't even read what I commented 💀

True💯 I travelled from Pune to Delhi and it was worst experience...even if my seat was reserved one lady was seated on my sleeper seat overall the journey, the toilet smell was throughout the compartment, the train named as superfast express it was too slow these conditions makes hard for me to book the next train ticket

3:09 Bhai GEN & sleeper kam karne ka main reason train ki speed badaane ko hai taaki trains air drag na ho Ab maximum section 130kmph ho rahe hai to train stable chalane ke liye AC coaches increase kar rahi hai

We need private players in the Indian railways system. The idea of railways doing social work while also introducing premium trains is contradictory. Only way I can see is by letting private investors get into this space and revive the system.

We travelled to Bihar Agricultural University for an Undergraduate Academic Convention and reserved 3rd AC tickets. We were shocked to see that people at night came while we were sleeping and said seat dedo hm 4 ghnte baad utar jaenge. Boy it was so hard to save our seats, they weren't ready to budge. Even when we managed to save our seats , they left while saying that we were mean for not giving them seat and chose to sleep

I have watched various videos describing present situation of railways but the way you explain is really commendable .❤

Reality of bihar likho 1 bihari 100 bimari

Ahhh😩 I had these experience 2 days before though I had confirmed seats with my family then also train was so crowded that people with no tickets were sitting on our seats . Before sitting they were like please show humanity, we only have to go few stations ahead and some of them sitting so comfortably on our seats like it was theirs only😂 .

My father had booked 4 IPL tickets for some farmers in Madhya Pradesh. They wanted to watch the MI vs RCB match. Their train was to arrive in Mumbai at 11:30am. It got delayed so many times that they reached at 10:30 pm. It was their dream to watch the match but it was shattered due the train being delayed. I cannot imagine the anxiety they must have felt.

North Indians are one of the main reasons behind over crowding in south India... Pan masala boys crowding and steeling in south Indian trains

0:43 same as karachi railways

Very balanced analysis. 1 point which you missed out was subsidizing passenger fare from freight revenue (i.e. charging higher freight rates) is doing more harm than good. It makes Indian industry less competitive which in turn affects job creation.

Education is one way forward. Problem is not due to over population. China manages its population. So, India can also manage it. Government should experiment with Private companies partnership for some routes/trains. Just like what they did with Airports.

Toilets are the most disgusting part of a train journey. I love travelling in trains but nowadays I choose not to cuz the toilets are horrible. The constant delays are annoying and makes me feel ashamed cuz in countries like japan the schedule is so strict and well maintained. China has left us far behind on everything. I prefer air travel cuz I can afford it but wht abt those who can't? Are they gna suffer for forever?

Population bhaiya population 😂😂😂

Living in Delhi, i have observed that you will see this dirty and uncultured behaviour almost exclusively in North India. Whereas South Indians, even the poorer ones, are extremely well-behaved; the trains are kept very neat and they always buy tickets. Education is the only way out.

This problem is mostly in North. Specifically trains towards Bihar& UP. In south the situation is better.

People are so used to this dirtiness that don't even find a problem in it, unhygiene is normal.

There are not enough train coaches available to offset the demand. I travel from 3AC, in western and central railways. But they also have clogged and stinky toilets, insufficient water and even the coaches are not clean. This happens mostly because many times due to lack of coaches, they just replace the name plates of the train without even clean it after its arrival at the yard.

i once visited shanghai and had an opportunity to travel in the high speed railways, man oh man, 2013 the railway station not only looked like an airport, but also "functioned" like an airport, you cannot go in without a ticket no waiting ticket thus overcrowding was never an issue although being the largest population back then, tickets were checked three times while entering the station, the baggage as well as before baording the train, after boarding the train, continuous cleaning of the station, no dirt nothing, i visited a hostel where my friends where living back then, while going up the flat staircase i could see red stains on the stairway, i was shocked, even living there people were accustomed too such habits, i really felt dissappointed.

6:14 transgender menace💀

Going to travel on a sleeper class from delhi to Patna🙃 it's going to be a banger 😂

I live in germany and here the local train is better , faster, and cleaner than vandebharat and you can travel anywhere in germany with these trains by buying a ticket for a month that costs 4000 rupees.And did i mention any other transport like bus, tram is also free.This is the cheapest train i am talking about forget the intercity fast trains which will be like bullet trains to india.

The reason why rich people loves travelling and so called exploring the world. And middle class people like us got nightmares to travel from one place to another even if it is for an important reason 😅

Shiban

I decrease my water consumption by 50% when traveling by train compared to days when I am not traveling. Usually, I travel in AC 3-Tier. However, when there is a long waiting list for it, I have to travel in Sleeper Class. Currently, I am on a journey from Purulia Junction to Howrah Junction on the S2 coach. I am watching an informative video about Indian Railways. Thank you, @SochbyMohak, for sharing this video.

1945 population : 35 crores 2024 population : 142 crores Manushya ke bhog ko rokna jaruri hai, na ki railway ki capacity badane ki, na ki naye tracks bichane ki, na hi jungle kaatne ki🎉

The problem is not only with trains Our whole country is so dirty and crowded

0:02 Imagine Becoming spiderman homecoming to reach Toilet in train 🤣

I always save up to use flight to go from delhi to my hometown in Kerala😂😂😂

Major reasons are :- 1. Nearly 35 % travelers of non-ac coaches have wired mindset and try to do cost cutting through the below mentioned ways. A- A person needs to go from point A->D, but purchases a ticket for B->C. B- Books a ticket for General/2nd class coach but boards in Sleeper coach. 2. Some 15% people are either financially underprivileged or intentionally travel without a ticket. 3. TTEs have become more loyal to their job role these days, maybe fearing the strict rules and growth of social media, still there is corruption in the masses. All of this create this never ending loop ( Low Revenue - Bad Infrastructure - Overcrowded Trains - Lack of proper ticket screening, corruption - Low Revenue )

Now because of Vande Bharat, other local trains are getting late by at least half an hour, which is frustrating. Our country needs more trains. Boy, the difference when I travel to Delhi from Kerala even in third AC is pathetic. When the train crosses Karnataka, people are just hopping in without tickets or in some cases they would only have general tickets. Once when I visited Mathura, things got out of hand, nobody had any tickets on the train and people were piling up.

Railway should be administered by private companies because these corrupt bureaucrats aren’t gonna do anything just like airports.

Track expansion is pretty expensive for Railways and to complicate it more railways land is illegally occupied by squatters who are granted relief by courts.

'Ticket Checkers' ki sankya badhani chahiye aur unhe ek security guard bhi dena chahiye, kyoki bahut saare log ticket hi nhi lete aur jab 'tc' ticket mangate h to unhe peet diya jaata h. 😔

Travelled from Chennai,TamilNadu to Delhi in 3ac t was all smooth till we reached vijayawada,khammam station In AP,Rest of journey even 3AC coach had people with no tickets and they were asking passengers to adjust and sit,and few smoked inside ac compartments without any sense,the journey was uncomfortable till it reached ranikamalapati,bhopal stations.

Finally someone actually notices the problem and create a video on it. It's a very huge problem especially in some poor states like BIHAR where I live and whenever I travel I encounter with the same problem. Government needs to be strict with it.

They should make Railway stations like AIRPORT security so unauthorized Passengers will not enter !

I was traveling on West Coast Express from Mangalore to Chennai when this video was uploaded It was an AC 3 tier compartment and was a pleasant experience

Dude it's mostly UP, Bihar & West Bengal trains that are dirty and unsafe, I've traveled from Tamil Nadu to Rajasthan never had such problem.

"The people pay more attention to expensive items rather than lower-priced ones. Totally fits the Indian railway context." Is this true then like 👍

Watched the video from start to end. I was checking whether you mentioning about the 'Ticket less' passengers, But i didn't see anything (Please correct me if i am wrong). Don't know if you dont know/avoided/forgot about that point. I think, If half of that over crowded passengers in a second class compartment pays for the ticket, that would be much profitable.

I visited India in 2022 after 8 yrs from perth, its gone more dirty and no footpaths, too many people, I could barely sleep due to noise, Most dont care for public places Atleast I got to spend time with my sister and 2 brothers. Now Im reluctant to visit.

The solution for this problem is to make increase the price of train tickets and setup in and out gates in railway stations and this makes people only to allow who take tickets

Indian mentality is the problem not money.We dont take care of our public property,use it and dump it is our habit.And some portions of the railways has to be privatised if maintenance is a priority

Government shouldn't be focusing on profit making on Railway

This guy literally exposes everything what I feel...

8:30 Agree. I have seen people eating food and throwing remaining food/packets nearby their own seat! They dont have civic sense. Just walk few steps and there is dustbin in every coach. Use that please.

Konkan Railway is the best route to travel. It is because it is not directly under railway ministry but is a corporation. Also the people of Konkan are way more hygienic than others especially the north

4:57 i don't think its the completely cancelled scheduled trains. It more like total incidents of trains being cancelled during the year. Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense, though I may be wrong

You will trains generally clean in Kerala, same applies to stations. Now that you find a lot migrant labour who travels across, this has come down a bit. But the system works better here. However, despite high traffic (and they all pay ), there has not been much intitiatives to improve the infrastructureinfrastructure, much of the state runs on single line - doubling the track has hit endless delays. Theres no argument hence for more trains - but most of the local trains runs with outdated coaches. You find much better coaches running in other states where the traffic is much less. I worked as a supplier to railways and I can say that they can trim down the labour size for many outdated tasks, subcontract for unskilled jobs to save on costs. Being a public transportation system it wont work raising ticket prices, esp as its depended more by the lower classes. Theres more to say on hygiene but its a cultural issue that what railways could handle. Well one can only hope that things turn out better.

This the burning topic of developing India , hopefully influencers like you help in this and we will get good quality trains to travel all over India. Thank you Mohak.

Once upon a time, I was traveling on a train. I found a big piece of SHIT on one of the seats. I still remember that.

Please everyone raise this awareness. People deserve better railway conditions

more open coaches (sleeper / general) are present, which slows down the train speed due to air drag. converting to ac coaches streamlines the train which can now run faster.

I can smell the train just by looking at the thumbnail....😂

It has already been 5 years since i last went to gorakhpur my hometown. As it's very uncomfortable and unsafe to travel by train with family. I really pray this issue gets solved very soon

1. population blast of India 2. inspite of huge Indian economy, less expenditure on railways infrastructure 3. privatisation of railways heavily needed. sarkari karmchari kuch kaam nahi karna chahate hai.

Bhai itna b yaad rakhna ki railway ka minimum cost or max cost travel ka hai 20-80 paisa per km,or railway me roj 2.75 crore passenger daily travel krte hai or 2 lakh tonne maal daily travel krta hai bina koi major accidents ke dunya ki koi b railway itna sasta or accha operate krke dikhaye tb compare krna

As someone who has travelled throughout India, the North Indians trains are more dirty as compared to south ones!!

I travelled from Kerala to Tamil nadu back in 3tier ac on july 2023 and the compartment's bathroom was similar to a bathroom of second class compartment. .

Simple sii baat hai:- Agar jo bhi train Bihar se hokar gujarti hai too most of the General coaches gande aur unhygienic honge.

Northern Trains are a nightmare for me 🥲 a family came and sat beside me, didn't even ask me whose seat is this and me being an introvert 😭 i was like drop me at my home.

On the basis of my experience, I have frequented the Hapa-Mumbai route almost 40-50 times by now in the past 3 years, on trains alone. Another 10-20 times by road. On the one hand, there is indeed undeniable progress. Saurashtra Mail, a commonly used train to go to Mumbai has a "new" train, it's timings were changed and all in all is better now than pre-2020. Similarly there is also Duranto, which is expensive but provides premium experience and is faster. Simply from observation, the number one issue plaguing railway is the length of tracks available. Even if Vande Bharat trains aren't launched (and given the routes they are choosing, we don't need them), to simply cater to the existing trains, fast or slow, we need more tracks. Lots more. Second, the existing trains already have the capacity to be 10-30 kms faster than their usual speeds. But they can't do that because 1) the tracks and 2) it would ruin the scheduling of other trains. All the trains of the same route will have to run faster AFTER new tracks are laid to make railway travel faster and efficient. Then comes the part where we use trains such as Vande Bharat which can be used premium and fast travel.

I think such problems occur from both government and common people. I have seen many people who claim they are poor( but they have several gold necklaces on their neck, gold bangles and rings) evade TC cuz they didn't buy ticket. I have talked to such people and they shamelessly and proudly agree that they are doing it. Once i was travelling on a sleeper coach. A guy came and sat in front of me. He was talking to someone in his iPhone. 2 passengers came and told it was their seat. He asked them their ticket and they showed it to him. It was indeed their seats. So he shifted to the next seat. As the train started to fill up, he would check the tickets of others and move to the next seat. Soon TC arrived, and the guy went to the next compartment!!. TF. I was surprised but i did tell the TC about this person who was checking others tocket and moving to next seat. And he didn't have any ticket😅. That's when i realised, when people tell you they have no money, they just mean that they put their money for gold and phones . Not for their convenience. Coming to the gutka scenarios, people invest money in buying ₹200 gutka packets/ day but don't have money to buy a water bottle for ₹30 when they are thirsty. If people tell that they don't have money, i think it's just an excuse

Thanks Mohak for shedding some light on this major issue.
