Every day, thousands of commuters risk their lives by traveling on the rooftops of moving trains in Bangladesh. What is even more alarming is the rise of floating vendors who climb onto these overcrowded train roofs to sell food, drinks, and snacks to passengers mid-journey.

Trading on a moving train roof is an extreme hazard. A sudden jolt, low-hanging cables, overhead bridges, or even a minor slip can lead to fatal accidents. What seems like a daily hustle for survival is, in reality, a life-threatening gamble.

This public awareness initiative by RRBD (Railway Review BD) highlights the severe risks associated with rooftop commuting and unauthorized vending on active trains.

Life is pricelessβ€”never trade your safety for convenience or income. Say NO to rooftop travel.

Key Highlights:

Issue: Overcrowded train rooftops & floating vendors selling products on moving trains

Main Risk: High-voltage wires, overhead structures, lack of balance, and fatal falls

Mission: Spreading railway safety awareness across Bangladesh
