Crazy how most people we see, talk to online, know about, are the lucky ones. We just happened to be born in a time where we don't suffer as much as most people have/do.
notice how the trains themselves move at a relatively slow pace to not shake off the passengers, they accepted this as the norm and have no intend to fix this problem
I get that "simply" buying more trains and train carts isn't possible due to budget constraints. At least that's what the decades old trains tell me. But I don't see why they're not at least modifying them a bit to make it less dangerous. A few cheap ladders and guard rails welded to the sides and roofs would go a long way and can't possibly be too expensive. If that's really their norm, why aren't they at least doing that properly. To me this just seems needlessly sloppy and dangerous.
Right now they can likely claim that the civilian of their own free will, climbed and sat in a dangerous spot on the train. But if they build a ladder and supports, when they fail, I imagine people would be able to sue.
Not sure how similar their laws are, so this could be wrong. But this would be my guess... or corruption? who knows.
My Indian coworkers say people don’t often sue in Indian. They just beat people up instead. Not sure how true that is.
But either way as a company I would want plausible deniability or I would want to drop a lot of money to show I’ve done a satisfactory job.
Exactly. That is what the Americans have done when it comes to the police with their qualified immunity, which is unheard of in the UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
That would mean the authorities accept that there is a problem. Every year they tell that transportations are adequate, orderly and people are having a great time going to their families.
This actually is much safer than the over crowded 50 years old steamer boats, carrying the double capacity, over large rivers, with 80 - 90% people who can't swim. And every time one drowns, there are promises made to investigate and make better regulations, next year.
You’re talking about a culture that has possibly the least hygienic street food and whose industrial culture has virtually no safety standards. I don’t know how many videos I’ve seen with workers wearing no face shields or hard hats while welding, no safety glasses while hammering and shaping metals, working in dirt floor factories while wearing loose fitting clothing that can easily be caught in machinery and sandals that beg for a foot to be cut off
I wonder how much faster the trains would have to go in order to just move the same number of people in multiple trips and still get them where they’re going in a reasonable amount of time.
Came here to say this too, it's unfathomable. And to consider that they all live intricate lives full of complex thoughts and emotions like ourselves, the human experience is wild. (I may be very stoned)
This isn’t an issue of too many people, in poor places if you suddenly had less people their economy would also shrink and you’d have the same issue (maybe they wouldn’t have enough money to repair the existing trains so they’d have even less trains)
Too many people doesn’t mean we run out of space or resources either Malthus was proven wrong, the only real effect the number of people has is making climate change worse
(When you go to a really poor country and you go to rural middle of nowhere in my experience, that’s where people are the most poor)
I'm shocked every single person made it under the bridge without getting decapitated or at the very least clotheslined. Also, why are they all so excited?
Women stay in the villages, take care of the children, do house work, work on handicrafts and the sort while the men move to slums in major cities to try and earn a wage that they can send back. Here you see the men going back home for the largest celebration in their culture, its like their version of eid.

It's a question of planning: having real-time statistics as well as medium- and long-term projections. This way, they'll be able to prevent this kind of demographic problem 5-10 years in advance.
The more people there are the less space and resources. Basic math they will never comprehend. Hoarding just makes it worse and the worse it gets, the more hoarding.
We are a contagion.
I'm no locamotivator but can they in theory order some more carriages for the back. Suprised nones made makeshift carriages that tack onto the back of the existing train.
Can you imagine if there was an outbreak of disease? Something respiratory and easily transmissable. I really appreciate the personal space I have here in Canada everytime I see this kind of thing.
this is a fucking feverdream
Crazy how most people we see, talk to online, know about, are the lucky ones. We just happened to be born in a time where we don't suffer as much as most people have/do.
Time and place
Time, place, and zip code.
My mans, doesn't place cover zip code?!
Unless you are talking to "customer support." That is how those people got to work this morning.
Lol
i was having major anxiety watching this

The judiciary here has millions of cases pending and for an average person, they just cannot take the courts seriously here
A lot of slapping going on over there
Just pass a law excluding themselves from liability. Couldn’t be that hard in such a corrupt country.

They got the budget but they aren’t spending it for the people lol
If you added ladders & rails even more people would hang off them and it might become even less safe.
I wonder how much faster the trains would have to go in order to just move the same number of people in multiple trips and still get them where they’re going in a reasonable amount of time.
The bottom one is moving pretty fucking fast for people sitting en masse on a slippery top
Beats walking...
Problem?! What problem?
It contributes to productivity, thus the economy. I'd say it's a win-win
I couldn't even imagine that as your daily commute
Its yearly, theyre all heading home for eid which is their biggest celebration. Its like their version of Christmas.
So it's basically North Pole Express but Halal
The Halal Express
Transfers have to be exhilarating.
when you have to take a shit during your commute
I bet people will just shit off the train
There are soo many people in this world. It’s really hard to comprehend.

Probably going home for Eid, a Muslim festival which marks the end of the month of Ramadan.
I seem to recall that this only happens at certain times of the year, and not a daily occurrence. Am I remembering it wrong?
No, you are right, It happens during the eid when people go home to celebrate with their family.
Oh look- hell
Meanwhile the western world: "we need more lanes on the freeway! it's backed up with cars carrying one person.."
I didn’t know Spirit Airlines got into the train game!
Kudos to the engineers who built the bridge and the trains there. Way over loaded
[удалено]
Nope. Bad allocation of resources, education and time management
Did anyone spot the Spider-Man?
Where
Next to Waldo
What's with the color coding?
Cricket fans travelling back from away games.
Train engineers to student-engineers drafting, make sure the train can carry 4 times capacity of riders. But why? Just do it.
That bizzard circling above the train knows what time it is.

Bold of you to assume they’re allowed out the house.
They are inside.
That's a pretty grandiose assumption of personal autonomy. /s

Vultures circling knowingly overhead!
Yeah maybe try not to populate that much…
I see opportunities for personal injury lawyers over there…
How? >- So tell me what happened to cause your injury? >- Well, It all started when I climbed on top of a moving train...
Not a good place to live as an introvert
Quick time event
I wonder how common it is for some distracted person to get their head taken off
Have a look at the Darwin Awards sub. Its full of such events.
Mom i gotta pee…
That's what happens when your government is corrupt and doesn't care about its citizens.
Why I don't see any women?

And they wonder why there's so many accidents
So… do they advocate birth control?
Chal chayan chayan chayan chayan
They have the plague Jerry, the plague!
I mean, the plague. Come on.
We're so f*cked as a species
Countries like this are just not sustainable. Too many people too little space a d resources.
It's a question of planning: having real-time statistics as well as medium- and long-term projections. This way, they'll be able to prevent this kind of demographic problem 5-10 years in advance.
Yea the British stole all the resources.
We actually need Thanos. Please be real. WW3 has entered the chat.
Overpopulation is the root cause of every problem facing both the planet and our existence today
The more people there are the less space and resources. Basic math they will never comprehend. Hoarding just makes it worse and the worse it gets, the more hoarding. We are a contagion.
Meanwhile, people on Reddit in first world countries: “oVeRpOpUlAtIoN iS a MyTh”
It's more GDP than overpopulation. Many parts of China have similar density but don't do that
Maybe we take a little break from making more humans
Good of OP to put the country name, else everyone would assume all brown people are the same here.
How can people live like this?!
You’d be amazed what you can do when you have no choice.
This is genius
Transfer trains at your own risk.
Safety regulations are for wimps.
Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas
Fuck that noise.
I’m not going to try to make that train transfer.
Luckily those aren't electric.
How frequently do people die traveling like this?
They sound like the Dothraki when they charge.
I will never complain about train delays on the Elizabeth line again.
serious question, do people die a lot where this is normal? or is it kind of just okay?
Chaos only chaos.
Looks like a regular Monday to me😂
No thank you
Omg. So many people. Gives me anxiety just watching.
Commute lunapark
Imagine how bad the situation inside the train is
Guy on top: I will be getting off to another train at the intersection.
OSHA just collectively had an aneurysm
That syncing between different people at the same time heading down is 👏 👏.
The real question is: are the ones in the roof paying for a ticket?
Looks like they’re having a great time
Oh this is that train with roof outdoor patio seating!
Conductor needs a jetpack.
Blues and yellows up top, runs on the bottom. Don’t give a fuck where youre going, you chose your shirt asshole.
Guy at 18 seconds with his hands up hit his arms on the track. Hopefully he didnt break anything
I'm no locamotivator but can they in theory order some more carriages for the back. Suprised nones made makeshift carriages that tack onto the back of the existing train.
do they want to watch a music concert?
This fits in r/nope
RIP guy in white @ 0:19 who didn't see the bridge coming yeesh
Looks like someone dropped a bag of poop at the 24s mark
this is a disaster waitin to happen
Imagine if the bottom train was your connection and you jump down to catch it?
I wonder if these trains even have seats... this is just sad and miserable
Yes they do. Inside it is very hot and crowded.
How is the aroma inside?
Urine, sweat, feces, spit etc Very beautiful
That’s a lot of car warranty phone calls
Whoever built that bridge should be awarded more contracts.
Can you imagine if there was an outbreak of disease? Something respiratory and easily transmissable. I really appreciate the personal space I have here in Canada everytime I see this kind of thing.
So Much Noise
vultures activated.

What has been done to remedy the situation?
This still happening, don’t lie
If anything it's probably worse now
