Recently an Indian YouTuber found similarities between general train coaches in India and China. The vlog showed the inside of the general coach of the train in which Chinese people were found traveling in the train like animals. The video has gone viral on social media and garnered hilarious reactions from netizens.
In Indian train general coaches, passengers travel amidst overcrowding, heat, and discomfort. There are fewer seats and passengers are forced to travel standing, sitting on the floor, or sometimes leaning against the door. The same situation was seen in the general coach of China. There is not much difference between the general coaches of India and China.
In the general coaches of China, passengers were seen traveling standing, sitting on the floor, and blocking the toilets due to the lack of seats. Many people were also seen sitting inside the toilets or closing their doors. A passenger was seen sleeping under the seat. People were traveling with their chair buckets.
There are only two things different about Chinese general coaches compared to India’s general coaches: They have AC and automatic Doors. China is known worldwide for its high-speed bullet trains and ultra-modern transport system. But this video by a YouTuber shows that the facilities for the general public are still limited and inconvenient.
Users shared various reactions after watching the video. The video has been viewed by millions of people. A user wrote, “At least their general class is clean and free from gutkha paan masala stains.”
Another user wrote, “Crowds in general-class trains are everywhere in Asia. But the attitude towards public property in India is worse. We damage and break every possible thing in a train. As far as this video shows, it’s clean enough to sit on the floor. In our trains, sitting on a seat is also a little difficult.”
Another user wrote, “The difference is in India all trains are like this but in China, only some trains might be.”
