Most uncomfortable journey in the recent times...Felt like travelling in a II class with family.. Though we had reserved seats, we had to fight, explain, argue, shout, everything that we could do to secure our seats and hold onto them....There were 5 passenger seats in each of the lower births and three in each of the upper births and side uppers....The people whom we had seen were all educated, speaking English, wearing modern dresses...Both women and men almost equal proportion....teen to middle age to sr. citizens...but again..all of them are educated...We had the Side lower for us to sit and donated out Side upper birth even though our kid wanted to sleep there... But Couldn't provide space for an extra guy to sit on our lower birth. We were already three Myself, my wife & my small kid...And What I had to hear....THE ILLEGAL PASSENGERS CALLING US INHUMAN..... That guy, neatly...
more... tucked in formal dress, who was travelling with 5 of his other family members all English speaking, wearing modern dresses...He started arguing in English and ended up telling me, "You are thinking that you can speak better English. You don't have manners". How funny....Goodness me.... I would never travel by this train....Half of the train was emptied at Kengeri..and this guy Got down with his family too. was just wondering, why IR is finding at hard to run at lower fares....While they can't collect the actual fares from these illegal travelers.... No TTE came for checking....We could hear arguments between Illegal travellers and legal travellers from all sides of the compartment..
