That VIP quota breeds corruption is true. It is also because of the huge quantum of this quota. We can reduce it to bare minimum and lay down rules and priorities about the allotment of VIP quota. It's use to be restricted for official duty only and to be supported by official letter to that effect. In addition to this there should be deterrent punishment on detection of misuse and the onus of proving ones innocence to be on the official concerned. more

Patriots, to stop Corruption in Railway tickets Reservation, via VIP quota route, Please suggest to PM India via his website Pmindia.gov.in with the following: Please stop VIP quota in Railway tickets Reservation. It is anti Constitution & breeds Corruption, as tickets are sold by touts. VIPs may be required to pay for Premium Tatkal Railway Fare & it should be restricted to just AC 3 Tier only to avoid any inconvenience to people traveling in AC1st, AC 2 Tier & 3 Tier sleeper coaches. Tatkal Premium fare for AC 3 Tier should be equal to AC 1st class fares. Stop cheating on innocent citizens now & give just treatment to rail passengers by stopping VIP QUOTA SYSTEM finally at least from today. Fits well with PM Modi Ji's promise, "Na Kaunga, Na Khane Dunga" more

No system can change or improve unless the individuals concerned are made accountable and SEVERE instant action taken against the defaulters. Staff should be motivated and fear infused in to them. They should be made to realize that they are employed by the travelling public and they are servants of passengers..not govt nor railways. They are afraid of only the political VIPs now and then travelling in the trains. They should have the same fear of passengers too. Passengers should be empowered to act for short falls in the passenger services more
