Travelling is something that has fascinated humans since the
very beginning . The urge for travel is directly linked with new discovery and
learning. This curiosity is what got the primitive human out of caves and to
the highest peaks. it got human out of its orbit and to the moon and now he is
determined to travel to different planets. Travelling is not only about the
destination but about the travel itself.
Out of all the means of travel I have experienced the that I
have enjoyed the most is train travel. The unpredictability of it and the
unknowingness of it is very fascinating. You meet a lot of new people from
different places and background. Some of the advantages of travelling via train
are as follows
Train travel is money saving. It is flexible , you don’t
necessarily need to book any tickets you can just show up at the station and
get a ticket for your destination.
If you are travelling by train . you can carry heavy luggage
as well without any further charges, most airlines charge for extra luggage and
most buses donot have enough space to accommodate heavy luggage.Unlike airports,
most major train stations are located right downtown in the heart of the cities
they serve. Instead of taking an expensive airport cab ride from miles outside
of town, you can step off your train and be just moments from your home.
Trains
are more energy-efficient per passenger mile than planes or cars, making them
one of the most eco-friendly transportation options around carbon
emissions from trains are less damaging to the environment than those of
airplanes because train emissions are not released directly into the upper
atmosphere. As a bonus, the relative energy-efficiency of trains means that the
industry is less vulnerable to increases in fuel prices — making train fares
more stable in an unstable economy.
Rather
than cramming yourself into an ever-shrinking airplane seat or squinting at
road signs trying to figure out where to make your next turn, why not relax on
a train? It’s one of the least stressful forms of transportation out there:
someone else does the driving, you’ll have more legroom than you would on an
airplane and you’ll be able to move around at will — not just when the captain
turns the seatbelt sign off.
There’s
something refreshingly traditional about taking a train, particularly if you’re
traveling over a long, multi-night route. The days of silverware and fine china
in coach class may be long gone in the airline industry, but on overnight
trains you’ll still find dining cars with full-service meals and uniformed wait
staff. During the day, many train travelers choose to read books, play cards or
simply enjoy the scenery rushing by.
The atmosphere of a Pakistani train is really amazing,
although the condition of cleanliness and hygiene is not that good but the
overall environment is really amazing , firstly when the train stops at a
station, normally the time allocated to stop for a train at a particular train
is 2 to 3 minutes and if it is a junction or a big city then it stops for 10 to
15 minutes. Firstly, whenever the train stops at a big station it is flooded
with people immediately. Importantly most of these people are not even
travelers they are the people who come to drop their family’s friends to the
station but mostly they are there as coolies because we Pakistani travel with
so much luggage that it looks like they are migrating. So these relatives come
to serve as coolies. Just as the train is about to leave the train horns , but
we are Pakistani , we don’t leave the train until it starts galloping it speed.
The noise and settlement and adjustment continues even after
the train has left the station. everyone tries to be comfortable set their
luggage at appropriate place.
10 to 15 minutes after the departure the environment is calm
and composed. if it is night time then everyone will mark their territory . by
marking territory I mean the families will tie sheets in front of their seats
so no one can peek through when they are asleep the individuals and bachelors
like us find a place where we can charge our cell phones . Now there are type
of bachelors in a train. single and committed the single ones just watch a
movie or just grab a pillow and sleep but the committed ones have their better halves
to talk to and spend their night.
People who are raveling with families and specially children
have the biggest challenges, because children can be ambarassing and testing at
times specially when you are travelling and that so with a 200 other people who
can hear your child scream and cry when you don’t buy him an ice cream. These
ice cream and chips sellers are the biggest trouble to parents because not only
they roam around in the train with strange tag lines and voices but they just
keep roaming Infront of seats where they see families with kids because they
know that they are his confirmed customers.
This winter me and my frineds planned to visit multan in the
vacations. The first and foremost option for travel was train. one of my friend
had never travelled by train. So we thought that it would be better to travel
via train. But there was a minute problem, WE HAD NO TICKETS BOOKED. So we
gotour tickets from the station. we had to sit next to the washroom of the
train.
We got on the train by 9 pm and it was peak winters, so the
cool wintery wind froze our backsides because we did not even have anything to
spread on the floor .So all night long we sat on the blood freezing floor of
the train.
It is said that if you want to know someone closely ,travel
with him but I woud add something more in it , not only other people but you
get to know a lot about yourself as well . because train travel and specially
travel without tickets exhausts you physically and mentally as well. You come
to know your limits , you have to bear things that annoy you in real life .
because no one is n your fathers pay roll in that train . you have to adjust
according to the situation.
You hear a lot of interesting voices while travelling in
train , and most of them are food sellers , tea mans ,some chips sellers, some
cold drink and juice sellers and you know that one of them has entered the
train because his entry is followed by numerous shouts and crying of children
who want their parents to buy these things . even me myself as a child wanted
to buy each and every one of that item .
The sound of the trains engine and tires is also addictive ,I
always enjoy these sounds and the way train stops and starts slowly , how
people wait for their stations and gather their luggage before the arrival ,it
is just amazing and I would love to travel by train any time possible but with
a ticket . .
