First of a...Sir,very well written, My thoughts...<br /><br />First of all IR ministry and the railway budget be scrapped. IR must be a corporate entity, lease out the assets make money and generate revenue. As of now, to decide a stop for an express train, the approval has to come from Delhi. The ministers act to the whims and fancies of the coalition partners and populist schemes.<br /><br />Add more UR coaches to all the trains that will cater to all the UR and waitlisted travellers and they do not intrude into reserved coaches. The unused reserved coaches for the partial journey can be sold by the TTE. For ex, I recently travelled by the SBC - NCJ train and at Tirunelveli, I saw at least 40% alighted. The empty seats in the reserved coaches from Tirunelveli to Nagercoil can be sold at a discounted price to the public, <br /><br />Ensure all coaches have bio toilets, and for a day journey in sleeper class can be considered as a seated coach and entry and occupancy only after reservations. This will ensure maximum occupancy and more money for the railway.<br /><br />Have dynamic pricing and discount the day journeys and lean seasons. <br /><br />Yes, eventually phase out the Sleepers and convert them into Garib raths. <br />Decentralise the railway and give the authority to the local zones and let them compete at each other to woo passengers. <br /><br />Many more suggestions can be there.. Keep writing.<br /><br /><br />Sathyan AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816725643933291916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651724990228782828.post-52652412746813700902014-08-16T11:17:15.272+05:302014-08-16T11:17:15.272+05:30Good suggestion.

Let only those who are not comfortable with sitting for long duration avail the sleeper facilities. Remember, passengers who travel by international flights even now sit for 12-24 hours! This way the railways could enhance the much needed seating capacity. Let the Railways think of ordering more chair car coaches instead of sleeper coaches!Er.

The site has considerably increased. Kudos to them.<br />But as some one above has suggested, they need to do some thing for the issue of unreserved tickets, season tickets, etc also through the internet. Let the SMS sent to the passengers mobile or a pdf file readable on an android mobile be the ticket instead of paper tickets, for those who have access to such facilities. This would greatly reduce the ticket counter crowds.<br />There are many short haul trains which have facilities for reserved seats on chair cars. Presently the railways have restricted their advanced reservation period and it is much less than 2 months. I think this should be made at par with normal reservation time for long distance trains. This would help people like me to plan our travel in advance. For example, when I plan my travel 2 months ahead with either a rail reservation or air reservation to a metro like Kolkatta or Chennai or Trivandrum and I want to travel another 5 hours more travel to reach my destination by train, the advance reservation facility does not allow me to do it all together. I have to wait till such time that the reservation gets opened for the short haul train. This is really an inconvenience and there is no logic why the railway maintain this restriction.<br />Would the authorities think and rectify this?Er.

The railway ministry, in my opinion should think of resolving the problems faced by the unreserved short distance travellers. It is an irony that the service provider (the railway) is not in a position to take even the money from the customers (the travelling public)in a decent manner. It is easy to do this also through the internet or through selling agents, if they want to do it. Atleast those of the travellers who do not mind paying a small extra fee or commission would not be troubled additionally by the tension and the push-pulls in the unrudy Q's and face other humiliations as you have mentioned. But unfortunately we have a bureaucratic ministry who is dispensing the service as if they are giving out alms to their wretched subjects whom they think no better than beggars ! The passengers association may try the PIL route to make the ministry to implement better solutions !Er.

We are facing lots of problems at railway stations for getting general class (unreserved) and platform tickets. There is always a long queue. Passengers sometimes faces foul language from the ticket distributor in change of rupees while ticketing at windows.<br /><br />The general class (unreserved) or platform tickets can be generated through internet services like irctc or any authorized agency and e-ticket having certain key details of the passenger so that fake tickets cannot be done.<br />Like<br />1. Name of the passenger<br />2. Valid photo identity card no. for e.g. PAN card no.<br /><br />The travelling ticket examiner or checker should have modern electronic gadgets connected with internet or having soft information detais from which tickets cross checking can be done and a fake or right ticket/passenger can be judged.<br />If it is implemented a lady faces problems for getting a unreserved ticket at railway station in front of railway ticket counters can be solved out.<br />Is there any way to file a PIL against indian railways to upgrade its services to general passengers .<br /><br />Thanking u.<br />Zakir hussain<br />surat, gujarat.<br />Mob-9724301720<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651724990228782828.post-11485912693570174252012-07-30T14:58:40.228+05:302012-07-30T14:58:40.228+05:30Accidents keep taking place in the Indian Railways...Accidents keep taking place in the Indian Railways killing hundreds of people every year. Today morning there was a fire accident in on of the prestigious long distance express train (the Tamil Nadu Express) which killed at least 47 people. The cause of the fire was apparently some electric short circuit. This kind of accident is becoming common now. The fire spreads too fast and kills many before any one realizes what happened. There is no automatic fire signal system. It seems that the panicked people rushed to the doors which didnot open. What is the relevance of emergency exits? The railway need to bench mark their designs with other developed nations. The IR seems to be very satisfied with the in-house design and engineering systems they are having without any efforts for improving or training their engineers. If aviation sector could be privatized, railway also could be bifurcated and privatized for better efficiency.Er.
