Overcrowded Indian trains with commuters coming out during the morning rush hour at Shahdara Railway Junction station in Delhi. See the unruly crowds disembark and emerge from the train! No sense of platform or walk and 'no walk' zones - everyone is crawling out and getting everywhere like ants.
Crossing the tracks is de rigueur and standard practice... Also notice the predominance of women commuters!
