People must NEVER board crowded Trains. Suppose you are traveling long distance & have only one DIRECT train which has GEN overcrowded, it is FAR BETTER to travel in the Next train with less crowd, deboard at a suitable station & then take the Next Train. Many people who are found sleeping at Railway stations are already doing this.or even travel in reverse direction to get to the starting point of the Train. This is better even if one needs 3/4 days instead of 1 day for travel. This must be taught as a safety lession in schools not to board over crowded Trains.

more... I recommend that Railways provide atleast 4 GEN coaches in all such trains, SL can be 2 or Zero, but GEN must be 4 minimum.
