By the grace of Allah and with your prayers, I am also doing well.Today, in the 06 week of Steemit Challenge 28, I will be participating in @max-pro brother , Transport Hubs and Stations.

Which Transport Hub or Station have you visited? Give brief information.

The transport hub I visited was Rangpur Railway Station. Located in the heart of Rangpur, an important district town of North Bengal, this station has long been known as the main source of transportation for the people of the region. Every day, numerous passengers use this station to connect with different districts of the country including the capital Dhaka.A busy but clean environment is visible upon entering the Rangpur railway station. People move here from morning till late night. Students, workers, traders, farmers all classes of people are seen together. The station building is not modern but quite neat and functional. The ticket counters are clearly arranged so that passengers can easily collect tickets. Now there is also online ticket verification system which has reduced the suffering to some extent.

The platform areas are relatively spacious and there is enough space for passengers during train arrivals and departures. Passengers can easily get an idea about the arrival or departure of a train due to the announcement system. There is seating for waiting passengers, though it can feel a bit inadequate at busy times. Small shops inside and outside the station offer tea, water, biscuits and snacks, which come in handy before or after a long journey.Rangpur railway station is quite satisfactory in terms of cleanliness. Regular cleaning is done, but when the number of passengers is high, dirt sometimes accumulates. The security system is also impressive; Police and railway security personnel are on duty, which is a relief for the passengers.

What facilities and services are available there? How is the management, cleanliness and ticket system? (Show photos + video)

Rangpur Railway Station is a busy and important transport hub, where the entire area is buzzing with the footfall of passengers arriving and departing from different parts of North Bengal every day. The facilities and services available to the passengers at this station are mainly to meet the needs of daily travel. There are wide platforms inside the station, where multiple trains can stay at the same time. Passengers can easily know about their trains as there is a system to announce the arrival and departure time of the train. There is seating for waiting passengers and a common waiting room, which provides some relief in case of long waits. There are tea, water, biscuits and light food shops around and inside the station so the daily needs of the passengers are easily fulfilled.

The management of the station is conducted as per Bangladesh Railway rules. The authorities are working regularly to keep train movement normal and passenger movement smooth. A bit crowded and chaotic during busy times, but the overall presence and duty of the employees is noticeable. Police and railway security personnel are seen for security, which instills a kind of confidence in the minds of the passengers. However, if the number of passengers is high, there is some pressure on the management, especially during festivals or holidays.In terms of cleanliness, Rangpur railway station can be said to be of medium quality. Although efforts are made to clean it every day, dirt accumulates in some places due to the rush of passengers. Platforms and walkways are generally clear.

What impressed you the most about this transport hub?

What impressed me most about this transport hub was its vibrant environment and deep connection with people. Standing at Rangpur railway station, one realizes that it is not just a place to catch a train it is a vibrant meeting place intertwined with the lives of the people of North Bengal. From morning to night, people of various classes and professions travel here, some start their careers, some go for their studies, and some enjoy the joy of returning to their loved ones everything is felt together.Another thing that stands out is the accessibility and practicality of the station.

Although it lacks the glitz of modernity, everything is available here as per the needs of the common man. Train announcements, platform engagements, staff performance all together paint a picture of an efficient system. What impressed me the most was the station's ability to handle a large number of commuters every day despite its limited facilities.Finally, Rangpur Railway Station impressed me with its combination of emotion, realism and dependability. It is not just a brick and stone structure, but the hope of the people of North Bengal.A silent witness of hope and journey.

Nature of station

how interesting moments of some of the vehicles at that station.

The interesting moments witnessed in the traffic at Rangpur Railway Station are truly memorable. Standing on the platform, when a train slowly approaches in the distance, the whole environment comes alive with the sound of the engine and the vibration of the line. Especially when the inter city train arrives, the crowd of passengers, bags in some hands, excitement of the destination in some eyes all together create a kind of emotional scene. As soon as the train stops, the business of boarding and alighting begins, and those moments make the vibrancy of the station even more palpable.Another interesting sight is when the engine separates forward or changes line.

Then the coordination of the railway workers, the change of signal and the slow moving engine move forward in an orderly rhythm. The evening train departure moments are especially beautiful. The light on the platform, the yellow-white light inside the train and the faces of the passengers sitting at the window all create a silent but profound feeling.Even looking outside the station, you can see the traffic of various types of vehicles. Autorickshaws, rickshaws and buses line up to pick up and drop passengers. As soon as the train arrives, these vehicles pick up a new speed, the drivers buzzing around to the sound of passengers calling out. Again, freight trains are occasionally seen slowly passing the station their heavy carriages and continuous movement convey a sense of silent power.
