A video of a ticketless woman has gone on X for refusing to vacate the seat and arguing with the passengers. Many people online are angered by her behaviour and calling her entitled, demanding authorities impose heavy punishments.
Indian railways do not always have a good reputation for comfortable travel these days, thanks to the hundreds of ticketless individuals who crowd the trains and refuse to leave.
Several videos have been surfacing on the internet showcasing the crowded coaches, posing a safety hazard for everyone. Sometimes, people feel so entitled that they even refuse to vacate someone else's seat and create a scene over it.
One such incident was recently captured on a video and posted to X (formerly Twitter), depicting a ticketless woman refusing to vacate the passenger's seat and arguing with everyone on board. The caption read, "The lady is occupying a reserved seat without a ticket. Refused to get up, arguing with everybody around. Best usage of #women-card."

The video shows the woman refusing to vacate the seat even after being confronted by the passengers. One woman even tells her to get up and cease this behaviour, as it tarnishes the reputation of other women.
The post currently has 985.5K views on X and even caught the attention of RailwaySeva, an official account for support of Rail users. The account commented, "We request you to please share the journey details (PNR/UTS No.) and Mobile No. with us preferably via DM.

Several other X users also joined in the conversation and gave their two cents. One user wrote, "Now a days all reserved compartments are freely occupied by illegal and ticketless travellers, at the cost of bonafide traveller. No TTE, or RPF or police may be at sight to handle the situation.. Only god can rescue the public," talking about the railway experience these days.
"Some women feel too entitled these days for absolutely no reason !! This is not what women empowerment aims at !!" another user wrote talking about her behaviour and sense of entitlement.
