New Delhi: As soon as the name of traveling in train comes to mind, the first thing that comes to mind is lower berth or side lower seat. Everyone wants to get a seat from where they can enjoy the views outside the window. But do you know that there is a ‘secret seat’ in the coaches of Indian Railways for which no ticket is issued and no reservation is made on it? There is a lot of discussion about this special seat on social media these days.

A video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which this seat is being described as the most ‘underrated’ seat of the train. It is being claimed in the video that the views seen while sitting here are not possible on any other seat. But the question is, is this seat really that comfortable or does sitting here invite great danger? Let us know the whole truth about this mysterious seat.

After all, where is this mysterious seat?

The truth is that there is no mention of any such official seat in the railway charts. Actually, this seat is made very close to the door in the AC coach of the train. It is a small folding seat mainly designed for train attendants. These are the same attendants who provide you with sheets, pillows and blankets during your journey. Because this seat is not for common passengers, very few people know about it. This is the reason why it has been named ‘Secret Seat’.

Why are people liking this seat so much?

In the video going viral, a passenger is seen lying on the seat near this door and enjoying the beautiful views outside. People are finding it quite exciting to see the natural views from the open door of a moving train. Especially during a day trip, when mountains, rivers or greenery are visible outside, this experience seems no less than a luxury. On social media, people are seeing it as a ‘travel goal’, due to which the popularity of this seat has suddenly increased.

Beautiful view or big trouble?

Although this seat may look exciting, its reality is quite different. This seat does not meet the standards of safety and comfort at all. The biggest problem is that this seat is right next to the toilet, due to which the bad smell and constant movement of people there can bother you. Also, it becomes almost impossible to sit with this seat open at the time of boarding and deboarding of passengers at stations. The most important thing is safety; Being close to the door, a small mistake can lead to a major accident.

Debate broke out on social media

After watching this viral video, internet users have been divided into two groups. While some people are calling it the ‘seat with the best view’, many experienced travelers have warned of its dangers. One user commented that this side is even better than the lower one, while another wrote that the entire view pales in comparison to the smell of the toilet. Some users also claimed that during festivals, when the crowd is high, the attendants allow passengers to sit here in exchange for some money.
