Overview
- The anonymous r/IndianRailways post complains that short-distance riders often skip tickets and occupy reserved coaches.
- The poster alleges checks ease after trains enter Bihar, a claim presented as a personal observation without independent verification.
- Commenters recount crowded reserved berths and advise assertiveness, while some urge clearer signage and stricter enforcement.
- Others cite systemic pressures such as overcrowding, fewer general coaches, and limited availability of very short-journey reservations.
- News reports note that ticketless travel is punishable by fines and possible jail, and they do not include an official Indian Railways response.
