Contexte culturel
During Eid holidays, buying a train ticket is nearly impossible due to the massive rush of people returning to their hometowns. This is called the 'Eid Rush'. When tickets for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) go on sale, websites often crash. People wait for hours at designated courier centers to buy physical tickets. In older single-screen cinemas, the 'Tikat Ghar' (ticket window) often has iron bars to manage the rowdy crowds during big releases. The government is pushing for 'Paperless' ticketing. Buying tickets via QR codes is becoming popular in Metro Buses in Lahore and Islamabad.

Gender Trap
