Man, all over social media these days, you see videos of people on trains just struggling for space, no matter which class they're in. The fact that the Railways and the Rail Minister aren't saying a word about this is just making things worse.

It's so ironic - for years, the government has been showing off the Vande Bharat videos (which is a good service, yeah), but now right before the elections, these new scenes are taking over the spotlight and ruining it all.

I recently rode on 11302 train from Bangalore to Mumbai (not even on a weekend), and let me tell you, it was crazy. Lucky me, I had a spot on coach A2, but the general and sleeper coaches, and even 3AC until Kalaburgi, looked like straight out of hell.

I get it, there are fewer sleeper and general coaches now, but this government has done pretty well on electrification and track Doubling/Tripling compared to previous ones. But what's the point if they're not adding more trains on these new tracks?

I mean, how do they manage to mess things up this bad?

Kuch dino tak social media pura trains mein safar karne wale logo ki video se bhara hua hai, chahe kisi bhi class mein ho.
Railways aur Rail Minister ki is mudde par bilkul bhi khamoshi bardasht nahi ho rahi hai, jo halat aur bhi bigad rahi hai.

Ajeeb baat ye hai ke Vande Bharat ke videos ko sarkar ne itna promote kiya tha (jo accha tha), lekin ab elections ke time par ye scene sab kuch bigad gaya hai.

Main abhi Bangalore se Mumbai ke liye 11302 mein safar kiya, aur mujhe khush kismat lag rahi thi ke main coach A2 mein thi, lekin general aur sleeper coaches aur 3AC tak Kalaburgi tak bilkul jahannam ki tarah dikh rahi thi.

Haan, sleeper/general coaches ki kami ek badi wajah hai, lekin sarkar ne bijli ke conection aur track Doubling/Tripling mein pehle walo se behtar perform kiya hai - lekin jab naye trains iss naye track par nahi chala rahe hain, to iska kya fayda hai?

Aise bura kaise kar sakte hain?

The government and Railways are straight up robbing us with these so-called "SPECIAL TRAINS." The fare is like three times more than the regular trains.

People used to say Sleeper and General class were losing money and should be shut down completely. What do you guys think about this? VBs making a loss. Earlier, I posted about how pointless Bhopal - Indore VB was and how the unreserved class of Sampoorna Kranti was earning more than Bhopal - Indore VB. It's obvious, Indian Railways and the Government are to blame for the railway's losses, not just classes like SL or GS.
