Visited Mathura for Yamuna Mela.
Didn't want to miss my chance of RFing by the MG RailBus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asked my mom whether she is interested. She said YES.
So we got up early in...
more... the morning arrived at the starting & terminating location of the MG rail bus which is outside the MTJ station at about 500 meters on the right side. You would see a small shed under which this bus takes rest over night.
It was about 6:15 am. By the time we reached, there were lot many Sadhus and Beggars waiting for the same.
The rail bus was inside the shed with its engine started but entry for passengers was not allowed.
At 6:25 an interim LP pulled the Railbus out of the shed on to the PF and opened the doors.
People flooded into it and occupied their seats so did we.
As it was 6:30 am staff started to come in. One LP, One Mobile Gateman, One TTE & one Asst. LP.
Sharp at 6:35am the bus started moving gracefully to Brindavan.
On its course towards Vrindaban through the city, the bus would stop at several places from where the passengers can get in. Mostly at railway gates, as the bus must stop as the mobile gateman would hop off to close the gate and hop on after opening it once the bus crosses the road.
Once the bus crosses the city the LP accelerates the bus to the speed of 45 kmph and would cruise at this speed for the last 5 kms. Otherwise always below 20 kmph.
I took ride by the ALP's seat to capture the video which I already posted. The LP advised us to get down at the railway gate just before the Vrindaban station. So we got down and proceeded towards the Brij Bihari Temple.
I have posted the video of the MG rail bus crossing this spot where we got down in this blog.
The ride was thrilling as people fight for seat even though its just a 30 minute ride. They ended up quarreling me for seat in high tone.
So I said, you request for a seat don;t demand for it. If you request, I would be ready to give my seat away to you. But if you demand in high tone, I would not let you put your hand on my seat.
But as I moved to the ALP's seat, they eventually got the seat.

So we woke up early in the morning and reached the starting & ending spot of the MG rail bus which is outside the MTJ station about 500 meters on the right side. You'll see a small shed where this bus rests overnight.
It was around 6:15 am. When we got there, there were a bunch of Sadhus and Beggars waiting for it too.
The rail bus was inside the shed with the engine running but passengers weren't allowed in yet.
At 6:25, a temporary LP pulled the Railbus out of the shed onto the platform and opened the doors.
People rushed in and took their seats, including us.
At 6:30 am, the staff started arriving. One LP, One Mobile Gateman, One TTE & one Asst. LP.
Sharp at 6:35am, the bus started moving gracefully...

MG RailBus ke saath RFing ka mauka chhodna nahi chahta tha.

Apni maa se pucha ki kya unhein dilchaspi hai. Unhone YES kaha.
Toh hum subah jaldi uth gaye or MTJ station ke bahar MG rail bus ke starting & terminating location tak pahunche, jo ki 500 meters door right side mein hai. Aapko wahan ek chhota sa shed dekhne ko milega jahan ye bus raat ko aram karti hai.
Lagbhag 6:15 am tha. Jab tak hum pahuche, wahan bahut saare sadhu aur bhikhari intezar kar rahe the.
Rail bus shed ke andar thi lekin yatra karne ki ijazat nahi thi.
6:25 baje, ek ad interim LP ne Railbus ko shed se PF par nikala aur darwaze khol diye.
Log andar baha gaye aur apne seats par baith gaye, hum bhi waise hi kiye.
6:30 am par staff aane laga. Ek LP, Ek Mobile Gateman, Ek TTE aur Ek Asst. LP.
6:35 am ko bus pyar se Brindavan ki taraf chalne lagi.
Apni raah Vrindaban ki taraf lete hue, bus kai jagah rukti thi jahan se yatriyon ko chadhne ka avsar milta tha. Aksar railway gate ke paas rukti thi, kyunki bus, jab sadak ke paar jati hai, mobile gateman gate band karne ke liye utar jate hai aur gate khulne ke baad phir se bus ke saath jude.
Jab bus shehar ko paar kar leti hai, LP bus ki speed ko 45 kmph tak badhata hai aur is speed par agle 5 km tak chalata hai. Warna hamesha 20 kmph se neeche rahta hai.
Maine video shoot karne ke liye ALP ki seat par baith kar safar kiya, jo maine pehle se hi post kar diya hai. LP ne humein samjhaya ki Vrindaban station se pehle hi railway gate par utar jayo, isliye hum utar gaye aur Brij Bihari Temple ki taraf badhe.
Maine is blog mein video post kiya hai jahan hum utre, jab MG rail bus iss jagah se guzarti hai.
Safar thrilling tha kyunki log seat ke liye ladai karte the, waise ki sirf 30 minute ki ride hai. Woh mere saath jhagadne lage seat ke liye high tone mein.
Ispar maine kaha, seat ke liye request karo, mat maango. Agar tum request karoge toh main taiyaar hun apni seat tumhein de dene ke liye. Lekin agar tum high tone mein maangoge toh main tumhein apni seat par hath nahi lagne dunga.
Lekin jab main ALP ki seat par chala gaya, unhein seat mil hi gayi.
