With a fresh train strike throwing commuters into chaos as recently as this morning, Brits know all too well the endless frustrations of public transport.
From disrupted schedules to rude passengers and the crowded stuffiness of rush hour, travelling by train can be an irritating experience.
But if you’re sick of being squished on the London tube, the daily grind in Bangladesh will put you to shame.
Jaw-dropping images have captured the sheer chaos of commuters taking trains out of Dhaka city.
Men, women and children can be seen piled onto the outside and top of the train in a desperate attempt to get home for the day.
The experience is not only stressful, it’s downright dangerous, with workers risking their lives to clamber onto the train’s 12-ft-high roof.
Documentary maker Yousuf Tushar captured the striking photos after spending the day at the train station in the Bangladeshi capital.
The 33-year-old said: “It is busiest on the trains in the mornings and evenings when people are coming into the city to work or leaving to go home.
“Those who fail to get a place inside the train, end up climbing onto the roof or holding onto the sides and fronts of the train so that they can go home from Dhaka city.”
Some 2,000 people manage to jump onto the roof of the trains each day, with the help of other commuters.
Yousuf decided to climb onto the roof with them, where he withstood average speeds of 27mph (44km/h).
He said: ”Most people just sit on the roof, they often don’t hold onto anything so just have to rely on balance although sometimes you’ll see passengers holding onto each other.
“During festivals or even long holy days, the crowds can get even bigger.
“Most people want to get home and so they take the risk for their journey.”
Yousuf is a photographer who lives in Dhaka, set beside the Buriganga River.
There are more than 14.5 million people living in the capital city.
