I travel by the local trains daily , and I must admit it is an experience in itself.
The boarding , acquisition of seat, the travel and the alighting are tasks u have to meticulously plan for , and the most important being the time of the day and location from where u are starting ur train travel.
Definitely not for the weak-hearted , it takes a man (or a strong aunty) to win this battle daily , as for the weak hearted there is always Sunday.
