travel in reserved compartments. This has led to a situation where the carriages are crammed with passengers, with many forced to sit in the aisles or even lie on the floor. The article also details an incident where a group of transpersons extorted money from the passengers, unchallenged by authorities. The author notes the stark contrast between the modern Vande Bharat trains and the overcrowded, outdated Ghulam Express trains, highlighting the disparity in the experiences of different segments of Indian society.
