Passengers on the train were observed carelessly discarding their trash next to their seats, rather than placing it in the dustbins, which the employees were seen assiduously filling.

The housekeeping crew was observed gathering trash that was thrown under the berths, sweeping it, and bringing it out for proper disposal. He tidied up the seats, which the patrons had been leaving dirty. Numerous items were gathered in the trash, ranging from empty plastic water bottles to devoured snack packages. Some brochures and used paper plates were also provided.

In less than a minute, the clip captured the filthy atmosphere in which people rode public transportation, sullying their personal space without remorse or concern. As the video went viral on social media, it reminded users to keep the coaches tidy and litter-free, something that any considerate traveler would do to help the railroads.

Over a million people saw the video on X, and in response, they encouraged travelers to dispose of their trash properly. One person remarked, "Please use the dustbin.," and another said, "First, show me where the dustbins that are not overflowing are." Later, let us chat."
