  • When you are traveling for a long journey and didn't get to sit, then ask the passenger who is already sitting, about their destination and accordingly book the seat unofficially for yourself.

    Be cautious while boarding and alighting the train during monsoons, as platforms may get slippery. Mind the gap between the train and the platform to avoid any mishaps.
