What should we do to give better service in railways?

Answer 1

For making an overall improvement in the services in railways, the railways and the public must join hands. I have a few suggestions.
1. Punctuality must be maintained at any cost. Most of the time, most of the trains run late and there are no dearth of excuses. Late running of trains in Indian Railways are a rule rather than an exception. In case of late running of trains, passengers must be financially compensated by refund of part or whole of the fare depending on the degree of lateness.
2. Although railway fares are claimed to be highly subsidised, it is still a bit on the higher side for the majority of the large number of poor people of India. There is room for some rationalisation in this area. Also, some people, other than season ticket holders, commute frequently on business or other purposes. Assured reservations and concessions on the lines of "Frequent Flier Programmes" of airlines should be introduced for them. Fines are imposed as penalty for ticketless travel. This has bred corruption of the worst kind with Ticket Checkers/Collectors pocketing a consideration and forgoing the fine. A system, preferably electronic, should be put into place whereby the tickets are checked before a passenger embarks and at the point of exit, in the lines of the Kolkata Metro Railway. Needless to say that this will ensure greater compliance and reduce corruption.
3. Railway stations must be made a place which provides a pleasant experience to passengers. They must be clean and aesthetic. Commuters should fulfill their responsibility to keep it clean. Different aspects of beautifying railway stations can be entrusted to private companies.
There are other areas of improvement too, no less important. But let us make a start with these and come to them later.

Travelling in trains only after puchasing proper tickets.
Not pulling chains without proper reasons.
