I remember traveling on the SSM-ARA route when it was just inaugurated. Every few hundred meters in front of each village, people had put up a yellow board with the village's name on it. And the train stopped there.
Even recently I traveled on that route in the passanger, almost everyone was ticketless. Some person even laughed at me for buying tickets. No one wants to buy even a general ticket, lekin halt sabko apne ghar ke samne chahiye, aur chadhna sabko AC me hi hai.
please wait...Translate to HindiMain yaad rakhta hoon jab SSM-ARA route inaugurate hua tha tab maine safar kiya tha. Har kuch sau meter pe har gaon ke saamne logon ne peela board laga rakha tha jisme gaon ka naam likha tha. Aur train wahin rokti thi.
Haal hi mein maine uss route pe passenger mein safar kiya, lagbhag sab bina ticket ke the. Kuch log to mujhe ticket khareedne par hassi bhi uda rahe the. Kisi ko bhi general ticket kharidna nahi hai, lekin sabko apne ghar ke samne rukna hai, aur AC me chadhna hai sabko.
