Passengers’ Behavior Raises Cleanliness and Conduct Concerns on Indian Trains
Two recent reports highlight concerns over passenger behavior and cleanliness on Indian trains. An Instagram video praised the Vande Bharat train's cleanliness and services but showed litter left by some passengers despite staff efforts. Separately, a woman traveling on the Saraighat Express described disturbances including loud music, drinking, and littering in the 2AC coach, noting a lack of intervention by fellow travelers. Both accounts sparked discussions on civic sense and public conduct during train journeys.
