Why was it so crowded at the door of the coach?

What food would you like to take with you when you travel? Why?
When I travel, I like to carry dry fruits, chips, biscuits, roti and dry sabzi etc. I prefer to travel with dry foods because they do not get spoilt and stay fresh for a few days.
What does the ticket-checker do?
The ticket checker checks if every passenger has valid tickets for the journey, and for identification, he sees the Aadhar card or voter ID card.
