Re# 6097795-29              
If Lalu Prasad Yadav did not increase train fares during his tenure as Railway Minister. The current government should consider increasing the prices of train classes to mitigate significant losses while maintaining their availability, as removing them is not a viable solution, as evidenced by the disruptions caused by the rake standardization policy. This policy has negatively impacted all passenger classes including AC and non-AC.

If Lalu was unable to raise fares, why can't the current government do so? It is unfair to single out Lalu for not increasing train fares

during his tenure as Railway Minister because we've had many Railway Ministers after him in 10+ years of Modi Government.

I'm wondering why can't the tradition started by Lalu of not increasing train fares be broken now, since the present government has broken many "traditions" of Railways including having more AC coaches than non AC coaches in Express trains.

Sooo basically you're saying that it becomes a political hot potato and opposition will use the fare hike done in NDA government against the government. Why can't the same be said for Lalu? Opposition would've used this against Lalu at that time. Right?

Having more AC coaches than non AC coaches in Express trains specifically is definitely a break with the tradition. That's what I said, yes UPA government might've increased the number of AC coaches but in no way AC coaches were more than non AC coaches.

Re# 6097795-42              
What I'm saying is since the present government did not had or have enough guts right now to increase the fare of train tickets at this time or in previous terms (when they had more than half of Lok Sabha seats single-handedly) + inflation is low than 2000s too because of the fear of retaliation they'll face from opposition.

Why do we expect Lalu to raise the fare of train tickets when he was an RM in a coalition government which lacked enough seats to make a government single-handedly. + inflation
...
more...
was really high at that time. Maybe Lalu also feared retaliation from opposition or worse, a total collapse of the government.

I see double standards.

Condition of Railways in Tanzania, East Africa.

neatly maintained and No issue of "Bolo Zuban Kesari" there. (I am not taking about Bullet trains or European trains here).

Our IR is even much older than Tanzanian Railways, however still we have to improve ourselves a lot.
We people still believing in the words of politicians and many Railway officers have Politically oriented railway unions like SRMU, DREU, NRMU, etc etc. Also everywhere bringing caste and religion card everywhere even in IR. That's why development schemes on IR were delayed a lot.

Still no crowd management, non automated doors, ticketless travelling etc etc and so on in IR. Although Vande Bharat system introduced by IR is appreciable, still passengers complaining of leg space issues in Chair car coaches by some RFs. Also recently Lucknow Dehradun VB was occupied illegally by UR passengers. The crowd management is pretty worst here all due to increased population levels and demand of Shramik and Mazdoor log all over the country and also unequal share of income. Still our Per Capita Income is not upto mark although we have Adanis, Ambanis etc although Gross Domestic Product is increasing a lot.

I am seeing everywhere this "North South divide" often because there is an common stereotype is often North based passengers travel and occupy all seats and causing overcrowding. But same it is happening in South also well. All due to regional politicians whom want to secure vote bank but doing nothing to this solution.

We fining fines from Ticketless travellers, but ever IR thinked about installing Ticketing system like in Metro stations? Or able to take tickets even boarding train in case of UR trains although GPS won't allow to do so in UTS app.

We want to improve current safety measures,cleanliness and prevention of trespassing first here. Also an standard rule should be there for all. Then after improving we can think about Bullet trains, high speed trains etc.

PS: I am not an supporter of any political party, political agenda here.

For your views....

I'm curious how long the "140 crore population" excuse will remain valid, given that China, with a similar population, has a railway system vastly superior to ours. In comparison, Tanzania, a very poor country with a high fertility rate and a persistent AIDS epidemic—has a railway system that outperforms ours. Clearly, if Tanzania's railway system is better than ours, there is a significant issue with our own railway system.

Why does this train even halt here? A formality? Because the quota which is given to Mirzapur is 3 seats in Sleeper, 3E, 3A respectively. 2 seats in 2A and zero seats in 1A (literally shows regret when you try to book a seat from here at any given date).

Why is ECR soo insecure about its own trains but loves to give hundreds of halts and stupid diversions to trains of other zones, can ECR look outside of Patna for a second?

Seems like uploading videos of Vande Bharat on Twitter every other day didn't work. I'm really proud of my countrymen because of how they voted this election.

Jaha dekho waha Dadagiri macha rakhi thi, from extreme rake standardisation to elimination of senior citizen quota and current ticketing discount system. Lekin Vande Bharat ki publicity charam pe thi.
