While traveling in a train, everyone wants their favorite seat, some try to get a lower berth and some try to get a side lower berth. But have you ever heard about such a seat, for which neither a ticket is available nor there is any reservation?
These days, a video of one such secret seat is going viral on social media, which people are calling the most underrated. It is claimed that the most spectacular views are visible from here. But is this seat really so special or is there a big danger hidden behind it? Let us know the whole truth.
Actually, this is not an official seat, but a small seat present near the door in the AC coach of the train. It is usually kept for train attendants, who provide facilities like bedsheet, pillow and blanket to the passengers. There is neither any ticket for this seat nor is it made for passengers. Still, many people consider it special as a ‘secret seat’, because it is different from the common seats and not everyone knows about it.
Why does it look so special?
In the video viral on social media, a person is seen lying on this door seat and enjoying the beautiful view outside. People find the experience of seeing the open view from a moving train very attractive. This is the reason why some people are calling it the most underrated seat of the train. Especially during the day, when the outside view is clearly visible, this seat seems no less than a thrill. But this attraction is limited to appearance only.
What are its disadvantages?
In reality, this seat is not as comfortable or safe as it looks. Most importantly, this seat is near the toilet, where there is foul smell and constant movement. It is not possible to open this seat during boarding and deboarding of passengers. Apart from this, this seat is also considered risky from safety point of view, because being near the door, even a little carelessness can lead to an accident.
Users are commenting after watching the video
Seeing this viral video, users are commenting in various ways. Some users called it the ‘best seat’, while many people pointed out its dangers. One user said that it is similar to the side lower, while another said that he has never seen such a seat. Many people expressed concern about the smell and danger of the toilet. At the same time, some say that during festivals the attendants allow people to sit on this seat for money.
