I've traveled on trains in many different countries, and I can tell you

frequent, clean, comfortable, and often very expensive.  In India,
on the other hand, it is usually slow, infrequent, dirty, uncomfortable,
and often very cheap.

have to wait for a stop for the chapatti vendors by the tracks.

And eat it served on a leaf.  You know, I ate all sorts of food for a month in India and never got sick.  From the food on the Lufthansa flight that was loaded in Germany--that I got sick on!
