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?

Coimbatore-Bangalore Vande Bharat - such a letdown, man! 🙄 1) Departing at 5 AM is just way too freaking early, dude. 2) The Uday Express (22666) departs at a much more convenient time, man, at 5:40 AM. 3) And you know what? The Uday Express always has plenty of seats available, like, most of the time. 4) Plus, the Uday Express only takes 6 hours and 45 minutes to reach Bangalore, which is only 15 minutes slower than this Vande Bharat nonsense. 5) The Uday Express even arrives at SBC, which has a kickass Metro rail connection, while this VB is gonna end up at BNC. Note: These are just my personal observations, dude, because I used to take the Uday Express regularly. The new VB ain't really giving people any advantage, even though the ticket prices are freaking higher. Kinda sucks, huh? Feel free to share your thoughts, man. 🤷‍♂️

Coimbatore-Bangalore Vande Bharat- ek bahut bada disappoint hai? 1) CBE se uthkar 5 AM mein jaana bahut jaldi lagta hai. 2) Uday Express (22666) thoda convenient time pe, 5:40 AM mein jaata hai. 3) Uday Express mein hamesha bahut jagah rehti hai. 4) Uday Express Bangalore pahunchne mein 6 ghante 45 minutes leta hai, sirf 15 minutes zyada time le raha hai VB se. 5) Uday Express SBC par pahunchta hai, jahaan Metro rail connectivity achi hai, lekin VB BNC par terminate hone jaa raha hai. Note: Ye meri khud ki observations hai, kyunki main Uday Express mein regular travel karta tha aur is new VB se logon ko koi advantage nahi mil raha hai, despite zyada ticket price. Apni raaye zaroor likhein.

Kya tumhe lagta hai kya galat ho gaya tha? (News clip ke august 2021 se)
Ab do saal aage badho aur humare paas 25 Vande Bharat hai.
