This is a simple change for a big difference...

It was a rainy evening today. As usual we went to the railway station to take a train to come home. The normal train was cancelled, which is not a surprise to any of the train passengers. Luckily, there came another train which was already got delayed.
It seemed like train was very well crowded and no one could not get into it. Passengers who were close to the doors & foot-board shouted others not to get into train saying that it is not possible for others to go by the train. We somehow, got into the train and we were almost at the middle of the compartment when we were close to our destination.

The passengers who were shouting when we were getting into the train were almost located in the same places, when we were getting down the train, meaning that they were long distance travelling passengers. They were truly blocking the passage giving issues to all who wanted to get in and get down of the train.

I really don't think, those should be controlled by introducing laws. And, even if you put laws, it would be really difficult to monitor it.

It should come from our hearts. If we all go to the middle of the compartments, rather than saturating close to the doors, it will make others' lives easier. They will feel comfortable and they will enjoy their ride by train. (or by bus, as it is the same story for the bus). I am sure all who travel by the government transport uses those medium to somehow to reach their destinations. It is really hard to believe that they will enjoy their ride anyhow. Everyone wanted to reach their homes as early as possible. I am sure many passengers were unable to get into that train. On a Friday, from the city to the suburbs, train is the ideal medium for quick transportation.

Few selfish passengers hanging close to the doors, foot-board left some passengers at platforms. This is really sad. This was happening from the very 1st day I started to travel by train and this is still happening.
