The train from the opposite lane stopped and several passengers got off including thee 4 foreign-looking young men. They had that happy look after all it's Sunday and probably had a fun day roaming the town. They were around 4 meters away from the exit when they stopped and turned around. I have this little game of watching people who dillydally in getting out of the train station especially those who deliberately stay behind. Then I spotted one station staff waiting at the exit. Only then I understand why they hesitated to exit. If they underfare their tickets, all they have to do is go to the fare adjustment machine, insert their tickets, pay the adjustment fare, get the adjusted ticket, insert it into the exit box and they'll be able to leave the train clean. But, they never did that until the train on my lane left. It was something like 10 mins. Most probably they entered an unmanned station and would be exiting another unmanned station. I noticed that their happy look was changed into a worried one. Indeed unmanned stations aren't abreast with the time.
