On 4 March 2022, thousands fleeing Russia's invasion waited for hours outside Lviv railway station to board trains toward Poland. Reuters video reporting recorded people with children and luggage waiting for entry and a place aboard.
What distinguishes this queue is that it was not ordinary ticketing, but an order for sharing limited transport to safety abroad. Under war conditions, the capacity of arriving trains mattered more than the timetable, and waiting became part of the evacuation route itself.
