Unlock the crazy experience: stand outside the train and ride an Indian train. Do you dare to try it?
Have you ever imagined yourself standing outside a speeding train, feeling the lightning speed and blending in with the surrounding scenery? Such a scene sounds exciting and dangerous, but this is a true portrayal of the Indian train "ticket hanging" experience. Today, let’s explore this world-famous ride and see what it’s like.
First, let’s talk about the preparations for “hanging the ticket”. At railway stations in India, you will see people gathering on the platform early, waiting for the train that is about to arrive. Since trains in India tend to be very crowded, many people choose to stand outside the doors or hang outside the carriages in search of more space. For safety reasons, they will choose to wear light clothing and try to minimize the items they carry with them.
When the train slowly pulls into the platform, you will see a spectacular sight: people are rushing to squeeze into the carriage, while those who have not grabbed a seat are quickly hanging on the outside of the carriage. Their bodies were pressed against the train, their hands tightly grasping the handles of the carriages, and their feet dangling in the air or stepping on supports underneath the carriages. Scenes like this make people worry about their safety, but at the same time they also feel their love for life and pursuit of adventure.
So what is it like to stand outside the train and ride an Indian train? First, you will feel the strong wind blowing against your cheeks, as if your whole body will be blown away. At the same time, as the train accelerates and bumps, you will shake involuntarily, as if you are on an exciting roller coaster ride. In the process, you will see the scenery along the way flash by quickly, as if the whole world is at your feet.
However, the experience is not without risks. People hanging on the outside of trains need to be alert at all times to prevent accidents. For example, sudden acceleration or deceleration of the train, centrifugal force generated when turning, etc. may cause them to lose their balance. In addition, due to the complex and changeable traffic conditions in India, people hanging on the outside of the train need to always pay attention to the surrounding traffic conditions to prevent collisions with other vehicles.
So why are so many people willing to try this dangerous ride? On the one hand, this may be because India’s train resources are limited and many people are unable to purchase seat tickets; on the other hand, this may also be related to the character of Indians. They love life, dare to take risks, and dare to challenge themselves. And standing outside the train to ride an Indian train is one of the manifestations of this character.
All in all, riding an Indian train while standing outside the train is an exciting and dangerous experience. It makes people feel the collision of speed and passion, and also makes people realize the hardship and difficulty of life. Although this method has great safety risks, it is still a part of Indian culture and a part of local life. If you have the opportunity to travel to India, you might as well try this unique way of traveling and experience a unique travel experience. Of course, always make sure you're safe before trying it.
