The Gareeb Rath Ride

Well today i intend to critique Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav's(Mr. L) Garib Rath Train introduced between Bandra and Delhi.
Well this was en route to IIT Roorkee where i had my paper presentation finals (We finished 3rd overall)
Though i'll be the first to say that i'm not the intended target audience for this sort of train ride (being by no means gareeb) the point i'd like to make is that the way he's (Mr. L) filled up the train is comparable to filling up cattle in a shed.
People are expected to sleep sitting up all night... spare a thought for the oldies Mr L'ji.
The person at the window needs to go to the loo he/she has to disturd the other two passengers at in the middle and on the aisle seats.
Besides the seats themselves being of bad quality , you're back is done for !!
If your in an a/c coach then it's even worse as there is no way for the air to go out with 75 people cramped up in a 400 sqft enclosed area !!
Besides the pantry service is as horrible as it gets.
The good points are that the train gets you to delhi in quick time.
Still this idea needs a lot of reworking and understanding by India's idiotic Engineers !
