Crores of passengers board trains every single day all around India. Be it local or express trains, all trains are always packed with commuters. It is mandatory to purchase tickets before boarding any train. But, unfortunately, a large section of people do not follow this necessary rule and start travelling. Recently, many people are taking to online platforms to share their experiences of travelling with ticketless men and women. A man had a horrible journey because of all these issues and talked about the incident on the X platform.
Ticketless Women Blocked A Man’s Way To The Washroom On A1 Cabin
Taking to X, कुशल मेहरा (@kushal_mehra) shared his experience of travelling on the first AC of the Delhi Sarai Rohilla train.
The horror on Train no 22949 Delhi Saria Rohilla train first ac continues. Outside my cabin right now when I woke up and went to use the washroom. I couldn’t even click the others on the right as I couldn’t walk past these women. I asked the attendant, and he says this is how it… pic.twitter.com/7gkdVf9oc9

The passenger mentioned booking his seat on the A1 Cabin of this Delhi-bound train. On Thursday morning, he posted how he saw a group of ticketless women sitting outside his cabin on Train no 22949. He woke up and was on his way to use the washroom when he noticed the group sitting there. Not only those passengers were travelling without tickets but they also blocked Kushal’s way toward the washroom.
This is the latest update right now. They’re really relaxed and having a great chat discussing railway policy making I guess @RailMinIndia pic.twitter.com/dERmqeUDLb

He clicked a picture of some ticketless women sitting there on the passage and stated how more passengers were present on the right but he could not click their pictures as he could not walk past the group of women sitting outside the cabin. Calling it a ‘horror’, he mentioned asking the attendant about his issue. The attendant responded to his complaint by saying “This is how it is”. Kushal also added how this is an “organised ticketless traveling right outside” his cabin.
And it gets cleared when they find out I tagged the minister. I am never traveling by trains ever again in my life. pic.twitter.com/dc84d8BviV

This is common now days and when you point out they might blacklist or block your account so you can’t use your account, this had happened to me previously

@RailMinIndia you need to act strict on this passengers travelling without ticket. U charge hefty amount ( many time close to air fare) for AC tickets n allow such nuisance in an AC bogey? Shame on @IndianRailMedia .

If this is the situation in the First AC HA1 Coach, can’t think of the 3rd AC & Sleeper class coaches. @AshwiniVaishnaw @drm_dli @RailwayNorthern @GM_NRlyhttps://t.co/lAmUxleeym
