Night times and rainy times, its difficult to identify the places from inside train coaches. Not able to sleep as we don't know when it will reach our destination. So humble suggestion is to include display boards and announcements inside the coaches. This is possible with less cost. Day time railway can provide advertisements if required. Also warning alerts can easily be passed to coaches. senior citizens most benefits this opportunity. more
Displays is a good idea wherein people will come to know their destination and railways will earn revenue from this. Should start with pilot project. more
Audio announcements during night may disturb passengers sleeping esp..senior people. So a personalized wake up call or alarm thru cell phone or a device fitted in that particular cubicle may be developed to gently wake up travelers. Suitable apps in cell phones may be developed before a PIO employed in Google or apple does it. more
