Agree Great
Hello rail enthusiasts, here are the few steps and decisions taken by our railways which are not so great as far as i believe. Have a look and share your thoughts.

1)" 3AC Economy coach "
Though the coaches were modern and trendy, nothing better was done by introducing them. Fare was almost equal to 3 AC with congested leg space and walking

path. Now the concept itself is scrapped, and 3E coaches are merged with 3A where people pay the same price.

2)" Rake Standardization "
Drastically reducing number of sleeper coaches in the trains. This has made SL class almost impossible to travel in many trains, and even AC coaches are crowded with non ac ticket holders, especially near the coach entrance.

3)" Pathetic ticket booking mobile application and Web interface "
Mobile app and website interface was excellent back in 2017-18. Especially web version was too good and userfriendly. Now they are full of ads and useless captchas. Seems like railways is trying to make up the losses incurred by displaying ads on their app.

4)" Limited Ticket Booking per Month "
Initially there was no limit on the number of tickets one can book from their user Id, but now only 6 are allowed if Aadhar is not linked and 12 if linked. This will have impact on hardcore travellers, who travel frequently.

5)" Naming passengers as express with hiked ticket price but same no.of stops and same travel time "
Passenger trains serve people of small villages, so halts should not be removed, but i oppose the decision of naming them as express and charging more, with no change in the travel time.

Commemt your thoughts on these and if there are any other decisions which you think are not okay please list out.

Agree
The railways obviously on orders of government has left no stone unturned to loot people. Earlier we used to see rlwl pqwl right on the display screen while booking. But now only they Show is waiting list WL xyz. Not every one in India is a rf and ends up in taking wl ticket that will never confirm. Regarding 3rd ac Economy, it is another solid way of looting people by decreasing passenger Comfort of 3rd ac segment. They have completely removed 3rd ac from trains like 12534 nd I m sure the imposition of garbage Economy class in many other trains will surely be done slowly in order to avert mass protest. They know people are fool so just implementing low class with higher fares slowly to reduce the retaliation Impact from mass.

When money & responsibilities are given as a choice, money is mostly chosen. That's what Indian Railways are doing. Scrapped Sr. Citizen Concession, Gives Upper berth to Sr. Citizen frequently now, making Rail travel out of bounds from LIG & BPL category citizens of India. Lifeline of India is being compromised in name of development & new India i.e. Amrit kaal.

Agree with all your points.
IR is just looting common man.
Apart from few trains rest all are running with huge delays everyday.
Instead of giving affordable services IR has becoming just money looting machine offering low class servises.
3E

is a prime example from 1st day I said its just a fake class ment to loot middle class and the word Economy is no where relatable and now after few months my views are correct as IR is merging 3E & 3Ac.
IR shamlessly looting public and writes the qoute in every ticket
"57% cost is recovered"
Stop looting IR.

Agree with all the points.
There should be something to stop the railways from replacing sleeper coaches and the 3 AC economy loot.
I think the only way is by courts interfering and stopping this loot. The lower middle class doesn't have that much time to take help of the judiciary for this matter.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
