Can coolies porters be brought under pre paid system
Can railways please consider offering a prepaid coolie service via its app. Its such a hassle to haggle with them. People get fed up. Most coolies in Delhi stations charge twice as a reference point. Several start with 3 times. more

If wheel carts are available in the Railway stations, there will be no need of coolie or porters, nor prepaid rules. more

It is a very good idea. The issue of compensation due to damage while handling is a little far fetched. That issue remains even now without any app or any other system. Just because it is a pre-paid system, we are thinking of compensation. What do we do today? In any case passengers walk along with the coolies, so the same practice can be continued. Only the weight and dimension issue is to be resolved. There is normally a chart placed on the platform setting out the rates to be paid. Most people do not know about it. If you have picture of that chart on your mobile, the coolies do not argue too much. One more issue I need to draw attention to it that the coolies in Vadodara station do not wear their badges. We should insist that they wear their badges so it becomes easy to complain. more
