Have you got an experience to get on a very crowd train?

Boarding a crowded train with no place to put a foot is common experience for the people travelling in second class compartment of BOMBAY Local trains. Almost all mumbaikars have gone through this barring a few. And I am also one of those. We just try our best to get hold of some rods on train and ine onch or so footspace on foot board, when travelling in local trains in Mumbai. The services needs to be improved a lot. Till they get approved there is no alternative as travell by road gets too long. I had one more experience of similar nature on Long train journey where there was absolutly no place on foot board and i some how pushe myself in side the compartment, i was not able to move my limbs for next 4oo Kms journey out of total 100 Km i was required to travell. Normally I travell long distance after making proper reservations, but that day i missed the train and had to face the music. That was really a very painful experience of travelling, i ever had.

I've actually never truly travelled by train. However, when I was 17 years old I had the experience to go to Paris, France with some people from my church, it was a great trip and I created many great memories of that trip. We did a lot of travelling on the metro there and it was a pain in the behind because of the fact that it was so crowded. You would think that there would be more space in a subway train when they know that they are in the business of mass transit.

I have never been on a crowded train before and I am not sure if I would but I have been on a crowded bus before under exactly the same conditions you mentioned .That was back when I was going to school in an obscure part of my island when transportation was very problematic .At that point the only way to get to that place was via the bus and the operators of this bus system knew this and did they pack us like sardines.I have bad memeories frm that time and alwyas tend to shy away from crowded vehicles.
