'No complaints about high taxes'
“Why don't I complain more about taxes in Sweden,” the woman wrote with the handle @GirlFromMalmo on social media platform X. According to a screenshot posted on X, the message reads, “The AC on your train is out of order. 50 per cent of the ticket price will be refunded to you in the form of a voucher that can be used to buy a new ticket. You will receive your voucher via email. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
People are praising Sweden's railways
According to a Hindustan Times report, the post shared on July 23 has been viewed over 3.3 lakh times so far and the number is constantly growing. Many people also shared their views in the comments section of the post. One person wrote, “It's not about the tax you pay, but about the quality of life, the value you get in return for the tax. That's what people complain about the most.” Another said, “My train was delayed by 20 minutes in London, and I was sent a cheque as compensation in Australia!” A third person said, “Absolutely! This aspect of accountability is what makes the difference.”
Questions raised on the condition of Indian Railways
This incident shows how tax money is used for public good in countries like Sweden. Here, not only compensation is given for technical faults, but an apology is also made for the inconvenience. This can be a source of inspiration for the Indian Railways, where rail passengers often face delays and other problems. This incident has become a topic of discussion on social media. Many people have praised Sweden, while some have questioned the condition of railways in India. It will be interesting to see what changes come after this incident.
