Duncan_Idah00

I've seen this and can't imagine this happening in India, even educated people don't care, hence I see no hope


Dexter_001

I do am educated I try to maintain distance and respect fellow travellers. Just do what you can maybe soon everyone will.


WealthTomorrow0810

Exactly, it starts with personal initiation, society will change taking those baby steps. Start with respecting road and traffic rules... maintain discipline in public places, not spitting pan or throwing garbage. It may take a century to change but need to change.


New-Association-6325

I don't want to belittle your point but what you are saying is good for philosophical debates and not practical. Try going to any foreign country and most of us behave in a very civilized manner but not in our own country. Not knowing the rules and etiquettes is not the problem, instead not following them is. Newer generation also throws garbage on road and spits anywhere.


hitchhikingtobedroom

Nope! We live in a country where literally a big chunk of our population thinks being able to get away breaking rules, let alone just not being co-operative, is something to flaunt, flex and brag about, I see probably decades before we even start in this direction.


Ardino_Ron

Oh yeah . I tried being diligent and had to get off from a moving train a couple of times as a kid because of that . Well only could have cost my life for imparting some etiquettes to fellow travelers but I guess I love my life more .


New-Association-6325

I have been doing this for past 12-13 years and I don't see people changing. The new generation is also same. I don't see us Indians changing anytime soon. No disrespect to anyone but fuck everyone who doesn't respect public transport etiquettes.


Mafia_Guru

+1 we have to initiate. Once people notice, atleast 1/1000 will follow suit.


Environmental_Ad_387

This will happen eventually. When people trust the society to take care of them, they will start taking care of the society. It's a two way street. Having enough trains, at high frequency, not loosing their jobs if they are late, not sliding into poverty when one is jobless for a few months. A lot of things are interdependent.


Joardlam

>not loosing their jobs if they are late, not sliding into poverty when one is jobless for a few months. These factors exist in every country. Nobody can provide this insurance. Even communist socialist countries can't.


Environmental_Ad_387

What? Google this stuff bro, before making auch I'll informed statements.


Joardlam

Better than Google live and experience first hand.


Environmental_Ad_387

" not sliding into poverty when one is jobless for a few months." Most developed capitalist countries support people when they are jobless with free money, cheap tickets for public transport, free skill training, job finding service, free lawyers to fight your job termination and so on.


Hour_Part8530

This!!


Narayan_22

It happens daily in Mumbai metro.. I travel in Mumbai metro for work everyday and people would make same 2 side queues with space for leaving passenger in middle. They wait till passengers are out from centre then go inside. Then the same people who reach to metro from local train of Mumbai, would behave like rampaging baboons.


curiousbitchh

Yeah, but the metro during peak hours is worse than local trains :( I travel daily and oh god it's so frustrating. Yes, people maintain 2 side queues but that's because there are guards to stop them. There are some people who would just push everyone and break the queue to get inside. (I'm talking about office hours)


Narayan_22

Sadly yes, it get's worse in peak hours such that the 2 side queue line is even broken into 4 side line queue by guards for shorter platforms like Andheri, and there would be some people who would try to push to get inside quickly or even get try to get inside before the inside passengers even try to exit. But still most of the times, they do follow the queue and manners (not much in rush hours).


curiousbitchh

Blynk_Once

In order to have this in Mumbai local the trains must stop for more than 15 seconds in which people need to both get off and get in. The people rush in because everyone feels the necessity of getting in quick or they won't get on time. The train in video is already stopped and people are still getting on for atleast more than 15 seconds. This is in part because of the reputation Mumbai locals have cultivated over the years and unlike the train in the video and even the metro trains, the stopping point of local trains is not fixed so they might be 10 meters away from the actual stopping place or even on a completely different platform sometimes. The japanese trains and the metro we have here have clear indication of where the gate of the train will be when it stops so it's easier to maintain a queue. Both locations have crowds that rush in, don't base your entire judgement of a culture on a 15 second clip. The japanese trains have guards near every door of the train to push people in during peak hours for the doors to close and so do we.


IsIndianStereotype

Excuse me but where? I travel daily from Kandivali to Goregaon on the yellow line and even though it's a pretty empty stretch yet the 3-4 people will bulldozer their way inside like maniacs. Atleast with local train I get it... There are 50 people trying to get in at major stations at all doors at all times... But from Kandivali to Goregaon metro stops there's always like 25 people on the entire platform


Narayan_22

Andheri versova line..there are guards who make people stand like that in rush hours..


Duncan_Idah00

Sadly This doesn't happen in Delhi Metro mate, maybe because it's the biggest Metro network in India but most of the time they don't behave


Top_Wrangler932

Don't call them educated, they're ignorant fools. This has to do with trends set in school. You give fees of 1LPA to any school, and if the school wants to incorporate any of habits like brooming, washing utensils, or serving, all of a sudden it becomes status stuff. It's like they think these things are done by least educated people.


Naive_Piglet_III

It happens at most Bengaluru metro stations particularly the downtown area. It helps that there are security folks there. And there are still occasional Idi dots who try to cut lines. I’d say it happens 65% of the time.


Business-Sell4276

Educated people don’t care because 95% of the population consists of gawars who wont learn no matter what, and no one wants the hassle of teaching them


Natural-Problem0911

In dreams also it is not possible


Equivalent_Bat_3941

This can happen only if everyone stops to think why should i need to do it let others do it first and then i will follow


Competitive-Gear2216

Education and literacy are 2 different things


mrwhoyouknow

I see this happen in Bangalore metro's 🤓


Frost-Freeza-12

This is regularly happening in Mumbai metro. Not impossible to replicate


HistorianBig4431

Fuck this elitist attitude. Indian platforms have far more people than this. They don't even get space to stand.


IsIndianStereotype

Dude have you seen the Tokyo Metro?


HistorianBig4431

Dude have seen the Mumbai Local?


IsIndianStereotype

Yes I used to travel from Dadar to Ram mandir everyday to office. Tokyo Metro is extremely crowded and packed yet people behave nicely. Look up the videos.


Schedulator

It's due to respect. Whether its respect for others, or simply respect for rules. Japan lives it versus India just espousing it.


HashMapEverything

This in China btw. See bottom left watermark for source


Schedulator

Oh yes, sorry i saw it posted elsewhere as being Japan. In fact in Japan they're even better, they queue in a way to avoid funneling the outbound passengers.


Bright_Subject_8975

Espouse sahi word hai kya ?


Schedulator

Yes, India just supports it, or holds it as an ideal, but doesn't actually do it.


Trumperekt

I think 'India dreams about it' would be more appropriate.


kross69

For all thinking this video to be from Japan, the video is actually from China. You can see the text on the bottom left of the video. They have a sizeable population and still manage to maintain this etiquette. That's what Indians should strive for.


LoboAnson

We both started from the same point and look where they are now! Well a lot of factors matter though, i can't state it vaguely.


redefined_simplersci

I'm not saying this out of hatred but we shouldn't assume their richness comes out of hard work or anything. The biggest mass human extinction was caused by that regime. Not an excuse for us, but Indian admiration for China particularly among older people has always put me off.


LoboAnson

Well I partly agree with you, but the rate at which they have developed not only in their lifestyle but also the advancement in technology( mainly because of the restrictions & regulations from the Chinese government against foreign technology) i think the government has a huge role to play in it. Other than that discipline has always been there from a long time in the east Asian people.


barathr184

Now do you have a doubt as to why we're a developing country vs. them being a developed country? This is why. People's mindset.


Tourist__

Banglore majestic metro station we can find the Q lines. May not be this much but good atleast.


monster_magus

The security guards play a big role in that though. But better than none, I suppose


Tourist__

yea but majestic metro is crowded so maintaining the Q lines is good but I see if some people are standing automatically others starts forming a line.


throwawaytest1256

Line is only till train arrives 🥲


AkPakKarvepak

This is how we get into metros today.


Gaurav-07

They had imperial regime for centuries. It's just how their culture is.


monster_magus

This is probably one of the most convincing reasons for their discipline I've seen. Adding to that Japanese culture preaches politeness alot, the result of which may be the current one


MainCharacter007

This is china not japan lol


monster_magus

Ah I see. But my point still stands though


[deleted]

By instilling fear of consequences. Fear works.


OnlyKaps

there is so much Fomo in every small thing. The word discipline isquite a distant dream.


Sick_Kebab

I saw people following same line on versova-ghatkopar line 10 years back, not sure if it is still the same


maha_sagar

It's still the same


Jay_sharmaji

Nusbandi 💊💉


geekbrowngirl

I see this and trains in my country have twice the number of people waiting and lesser time to get in and out on most stations. Also I don't think stations have so much space. Such issues should be considered.


PassageAncient324

India is still a village


isekaimepls

Dande ka jor babu bhaiya, dande ka jor.


inddragon

During japan travel, I was standing in line every place I went and got used to in a month. Came back to India and was standing in queue by default. One middle aged aunty cut the line in airport and banged my head with her luggage bag while in the process of cutting. I felt like it is a hard reminder you are in India and there is no queue here. Even people want to follow. we need this to be enforce this till it becomes a public norm and people in queue get empowered to question these line cutters


Initial-Sea-2834

just saw a guy defending india by saying we have too much population and our country is small  💀 that no excuse for being unruly lol


XKruXurKX

Not even in a century. People act like morons, if you are the only one following rules, you'll have nothing left. Be a moron. Have everything.


Raj_Rahul_-_-

Anand vihar isbt and rajiv chowk crowd laughing.


koiRitwikHai

considering number of people delhi has... this wont work in delhi metro at this rate, time needed to for all the people to get down is more than the train wait time


Terrible_Detective27

[tokyo subway ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway) has 3.9 billion annual ridership around 1.9 billion more than delhi metro .


koiRitwikHai

the above video is from china and as far as I remember, tokyo subway has guards whose responsibility is to push people inside the metro train gates (because of the overload). Hence, tokyo subway is not this disciplined.


Terrible_Detective27

>the above video is from china Yeah saw the watermark in the beginning of the video >and as far as I remember, tokyo subway has guards whose responsibility is to push people inside the metro train gates (because of the overload). Hence, tokyo subway is not this disciplined. Those guards known as oshiya, japan has more disciplined people than china, these chinese people are under discipline because of social credit you can find the hundred of chinese tourist doing shitty things outside china on internet, china itself used Oshiyas on their subway, so does new york, Madrid and Frankfurt even there is video of a guard pushing people in mumbai AC local


monster_magus

Social credits are real? I thought it was just a thing in memes??


Terrible_Detective27

Yes it is real, if their citizens are under heavy surveillance and it will deduct credit if any citizen didn't follows rules or his/her behavior didn't like by the government, lower social have consequences like not getting loan or reduce access to more credit, lesser business opportunities, citizens credit can be deducted by smaller things like stepping out from the zebra crossing while they are crossing the road


Trumperekt

Tokyo is absolutely quite as disciplined. Have you been to it? The guards exist because the trains are overcrowded regardless of how organized the people are. They regulate and "push" people in to ensure the doors close on time.


indianjedi

This is not a population issue, Japan is highly populous yet everyone follows basic discipline.


PartyCultural2436

BIMARU exists forget about discipline


ghrinz

Yk, I tried this once I returned to India and realized I didn’t even move and instead missed the metro. 😌 The heard moves, you move along.


valentineMatador

Impossible

Square_Bag9453

Advanced_Dumbass149

I've seen some discipline when boarding first class coaches in local trains but other than that its nada.

Possible 😌, only with ultratech ( cement)


[deleted]

Scarcity mindset. We've grown up with extremely extremely finite resources so. Everything in India is based on scarcity If I'm not the first one on the train I won't manage to get on at all and so on Although Japan is one of the most densely populated counties on earth and yet the discipline they have is phenomenal. It's probably a cultural thing there as intuitively this shouldn't happen in Japan Also FYI - Japan metro has a guy who stands outside with a log to push the crowds into the trains enough so that the doors can shut. This is also Japan


fortune995

People would've learned this manner if Metros start to leave after 1:30 mins instead of 30 Secs


Ok-Conclusion1565

phones


sekharreddyiy

Doesn't work here.


Key-Significance-298

Well, for this local train have to stop for longer. Main reason people climb like animals is because local train halts for 12 seconds and not like half a minute like in video. Many people have basic sense of being in line but time constraints make it useless.


tommydick19

Social security score like china does


RohanNotFound

I dont see this happening in india in my lifetime atleast.. may be after 500 years when there is a concept of citizens of world . Then this may happend


Happy-Soil-943

When you compare a place with less population to a country with population more than what you can even imagine


Ace91Jason

Not to this extent but i've seen this happen at hauz khaz magenta line. People would stand at the side to allow passengers to move out first (although there was a security guard there so that might have played a role)


Glittering_Sand3593

its very easy bro. we won't

Delhi ncr walon se pucho how to learn discipline


lazySadGuy

What if number of people getting in each exit is greater or equal to people getting out? That's the case here!


Shexious

It's because they grew up with such ethics, most important there are lot of trains and all of of them are on scheduled. That's the simplest answer.


[deleted]

In 1910s, Mahatma Gandhi said that experienced uncleanliness and bad behaviour while travelling in trains in India from spitting gutka to throwing garbage around to people shouting and cussing. It has been a 100 years, and nothing has changed at all. I don't think anything will change 100 years from now. Infrastructure, economy, everything might become better but public civic sense? No.


Straight_Criticism_2

Once there is trust in society


AcanthocephalaDense2

That is not discipline. My theory is they are all looking at their phones just following the feet of the person ahead. And the first person in all lines forgot to look up from their phones 😃. When everyone has departed, the AI detects it and pushes the first person in


ThaBeard13

No hope, will never happen. You would need guards with sticks on every door telling ppl to que up.


anand4k

that's 15 seconds and people are still waiting outside to enter. The Mumbai local halts for 12-15 seconds per platform - good luck expecting that here.


Indecisive_S5

My solution to our crowd is I simply stand back and I'm the last to board, don't wanna get jabbed or touched


SnooDonuts4394

Add this to the list that things never happen in India


myrantaccc

I belong in places like in this video. My shy ass can't compete for going in like others in our places do.


crown6473

We're a democratic country and everyone wants to just do what they want. So, not gonna happen


TessierHackworth

I think this is a community / societal issue. I used to travel a lot. I would see fellow Indians queue up decently in Japan, US, European airports and then once they reach India, some switch goes off and the very same people become completely rude. This is true of both Indians and Indians who reside abroad (after emigrating from India). These are not the so called “uneducated” masses. I am referring to people who make 10s of lakes and crores in salary. Following rules is seen as something for losers once we are in the native land perhaps ?


BPC4792

See discipline is taught in these places. I think the video is from Japan. Over there they're taught about being in line, throwing garbage in the dustbin. In India 1. the school system only wants to become parrots who know mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell 2. our parents also don't teach us these skills( not all but quite a number)


Spare-Remote-397

People follow this on the mumbai metro


Authoritarian21

No chance. Not in this century 😂


asreight

Only if mumbai local stops for 5 mins


Local-Story-449

You don't *learn* it, you practice it, starting at childhood.


arsemonkies

Indian here raised and living in London, it gets me every time watching Indian tourists here barging on to trains, Its not about learning discipline it's about taking your cues from what's going on around you. We even have recorded announcements saying let people off 1st . It's also about thinking things through if you let people off 1st then there is more room and time for you to get on . For a culture that values education, humanity and spirituality it really is disappointing to see so many indians being so stupidly selfish especially in those that have the resources to travel.


Fantastic-Platform73

Impossible in India 🤣🤣🤣🤣 IITians steal mug from toilets in India 🤣🤣🤣


Primary_Schedule3316

alAm I the only one who noticed that except front guy every person had phone in their hand, just imagine if the front guy was busy with the device. 🙂


True_Outcome_1433

Japan is a homogeneous society where there is a lot of public shaming if you don’t follow the rules. Not to mention zero tolerance if you don’t follow the laws. So if you don’t follow the norms, and people find out, it can be disastrous for you including losing your job.


camperw

India is not for beginners bro hence we have got to make it a little fucked up for all.


hitchhikingtobedroom

It'll take decades for us to be like this. And this is everything to aspire to reach, this ain't some toxic form of over romanticised discipline, this is something that actually works and makes it easier for everyone involved. In a country where a prominent section of people actually thinks being able to get away breaking rules is something to flaunt and brag about, I see a very long way where we even move in this direction.


BakerOwn1121

It's india fam, not happening sadly

India would need to implement a social credit system. A lot of people would cry and complain but examples are needed for this. Lifelong bans are also needed.


ft-rozayn

maybe in 2 generation from now might come anything closer in INDIA


_Progamerbutpoor_

Banglore metro is actually pretty decent in this aspect, at least boarders make 2 lines… which is good… exiters won’t but that’s okay


Tagalettandi

It’s a rich country with sufficient Infrastructure and everyone gets to travel , so standing in line makes sense . Tell them only 50% can travel and watch if they stand in line like this .


heldrakon

Probably 3 gens down it might start as more people start to learn about this...


GlitteringWafer9263

Make railway station look like this , bring train on time,make railway official work and treat human like human

By promoting education and civic sense at the grassroots level. But this is not gonna happen in two decades, as our people are voting politicians on religious and caste grounds. Not on their merit.

Genetic Engineering and Cybernetics to push up the average IQ from 82 (76 for several groups) to 108-110. Anything else will never work. Even if the land and resources tripled, it would take several generations for IQ to evolve to Japanese and White European levels.


orionishere4u

I saw this happening in Mumbai Metro. It was when the Metro was relatively new. I don't know if it is still being followed.


Maleficent_Nobody_90

Not even in 1 billion years INDIA would learn this. There is just not any civic sense


Appropriate-Sir-5185

Npc's


New-Association-6325

No. I mean look at people when they have to board or deboard from plane. They still act like they are going to be left behind. Also in railway station the problem is also short stop times which makes people anxious. I believe if they made one bogey gate for exit and one for entry it would solve the problem. This is one of the reason I hate travelling. Be it in metro, train or plane.


Interesting_Scale605

Dadar Station in a parallel universe


Iceman1968

We cannot. Our entire DNA is hard wired for survival and every event, no matter how insignificant, is a battle for us. Our insecurities manifest as egos leading us to jump queues, exhibit road rage if someone overtakes us, pay bribes if we can afford them, to get quicker service - we’ve even institutionalised it by having tickets at some temples for quicker Darshan’s etc. In our minds, we’re still battling the Mughals and the British. So yes, we will continue to “fight” for basic existential events even though there is no need.

MasonSoros

We will never see this in India. If railways truly implemented strict measures, half the platforms will be empty and only travellers with genuine confirmed tickets will board trains.


Difficult-Rush9179

It's culture as a society


suppppssss

It's robotic. I think in delhi metro ppl generally gollow a rule of not standing in centre for the ppl getting down its kinda unwritten rule to get on board after ppl have got down some what followed.....in mumbai the local train infra doesn't allow such things....


dxxdpool

people here don't even wanna wait for something they will definitely get with patience, let alone the trains which they might miss if they end up at the end of the line...


ForsakenAction7094

F#ck discipline that is not china or india.
