It is not a big deal,they also need to extend that to other part of Nigeria, everything must not be for only the North and SW.

Not in long distance trains. No passenger stands in a long-distance train journey.

I've seen people stand from Birmingham to London which isn't that much shorter than the distance between Abuja and Kaduna and probably takes longer because of all the stops in between.

I don't think either is right - it's a horrible experience wherever you are but the British system isn't the best example to use when it comes to customer satisfaction or efficiency.

It happens when demand is higher than supply. So long as it takes you to your destination. You need not worry. Nigeria would get there someday.

Very true sir, we will get there some day

A public outcry has been made by a "frustrated" about the morning train from Abuja-Kaduna. According to Umma Amadi Rimi, the passengers are being frustrated by the rail officials who sell more tickets than the number of seats thereby leaving travellers stranded. This was shared in order to call the attention of the right authorities.

There is really nothing wrong with this. Happens everywhere even in America and Europe

It doesn't make it right and it's not wrong either! They should have waited for another train! No one forced them to get in! Sometimes, you will even be begging to get somewhere to stand!

Is not good for it durability. Maintenance is only the viable means to sustain existing infrastructure. Developed countries spend more on maintenance than building

Its no big deal. There is absolutely no country where people don't stand in trains. I once stood nose to nose with Ken Livingston on a suburban train from London to Kent. I ignored him because I did not like his politics. With the best will in the world, when the railway system is fully established, trains will be full to overflowing at rush hour. Thats just the way it is folks.
