Explanation
The passage describes people strolling alongside the train 'with studied nonchalance' and clambering on one after the other through the still-open doors. The phrase 'studied nonchalance' suggests they deliberately enjoy the casual, leisurely act of boarding a moving train — it is a cultural habit reflecting their comfort with train travel. While the doors being open enables this, the motivation is the enjoyment of this casual boarding practice.
