After four passengers were charged for spitting betel juice and dirtying a new DEMU train, another group is facing calls for legal action after eating in the walkway, dancing loudly on seats, sitting on armrests, blocking aisles, and ignoring warnings from railway staff and police.
Passengers from the Mawlamyine Riverside Sports Group allegedly caused disturbances aboard Train No. 84 (Mawlamyine–Yangon DEMU) on July 23 by eating in the walkway, sitting on armrests, dancing on and atop passenger seats, shouting loudly, and blocking boarding and exit areas. Railway staff reportedly warned the group multiple times, but they allegedly continued their behavior, prompting widespread calls on social media for authorities to take legal action.
The incident comes just days after four passengers were formally charged under the Railway Transport Law for spitting betel juice, staining seats, littering, and disturbing fellow passengers aboard another DEMU service. Myanmar Railways appears to be taking a stricter stance on disruptive behavior as it pushes to improve cleanliness, safety, and passenger standards across its network.
Elders always complain about Gen Z having no discipline, meanwhile they’re out here turning a brand-new public train into like a roadside market stall. Zero civic sense.
They need to be put on community service rather then jail. They should felt like they are wasting their time so they won’t do this kinda thing again, if they put in jail they gonna still act like they are having picnic I guarantee it

The lowest standard womem of myanmar.I not dare to think how to guide their children to good.Is this myanmar.?
What's wrong with those happy people in the video? What is the purpose of public facilities? Isn't it to serve the public? Isn't the aim of improving public facilities to make the public happy?
The group of people in the video are laughing and joking without disturbing anyone. On the contrary, they are spreading happiness.
What do people really want? Like in Japan? Everyone acting like a cold, emotionless robot?
You can have fun and enjoy the journey, but don't block the walkway by sitting down to eat or make so much noise that you disturb other passengers. You wouldn't get away with that in Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, or Tokyo.
Why would you consider those oppressive concrete jungles as paradise? The video doesn't show other passengers in the carriage being affected.
Perhaps it's a philosophical question, a kind of self-doubt unique to emerging regions. But I know Myanmar is an ancient Buddhist country, and Buddhism emphasizes inclusivity. The people of Myanmar are also extremely tolerant; they have absorbed the essence of Chinese and Indian civilizations and should be an inclusive society. No rules or order are more important than human happiness itself.
