Travelling in an overcrowded train is one of the most painful experiences. Visuals of people jostling, shoving, and pushing each other to secure some space on crowded trains, are sadly too common in India. Speaking of which, a video has been making waves online, showcasing a passenger's creative solution to finding comfort on a packed Indian train.
The undated footage highlights the ingenuity and adaptability of travellers dealing with overcrowded public transport. In the video, the passenger creatively weaves a cot between two berths using a rope to fashion a makeshift seat or sleeping area. As he skillfully constructs this unique arrangement, fellow commuters watch with amusement while some capture the act on their smartphones.
"Modern problems require modern solutions," the video was captioned. Watch the video here: Railway me ab seat ko leke koi dikkat nhi hai.
