Curbing ticketless travel in Railways

1. Ticketless traveler should be charged 10 times the actual ticket amount. Some foreign countries charge up to 50 times from ticketless travelers
2. A ‘point system’ should be created for passengers informing about ticketless travel, which could be accumulated and used towards buying train tickets
3. Any traveler should be able to report a ticketless traveler via sms which in turn is delivered to the TTE of that train. If validated by TTE, the reporting traveler gets points credited to their account
4. No VIP aides should be permitted without a ticket of the coach in which they are traveling
5. Barriers should be installed on platforms on the same lines as the metro, so that only people with tickets could enter the platform
6. The entry of stations should be redesigned to accommodate large volumes of people entering and existing stations in an organized manner
7. Without scanning the ticket on the exit scanner, one should not be able to EXIT the platform
8. Tickets should have barcodes
9. Auto ticket checking machine can be installed at each entry point
10. TTEs should be assigned trains and should make sure that all the tickets are properly checked
11. The TTE during checking unreserved compartment should be accompanied with an armed RPF/Railway Police personnel authorized to take action against ticketless travel.
12. The exits of the platforms should also be guarded by the TTEs while passengers de-board and tickets should be checked of the exiting passengers
13. Outsourcing of checking is an option which can be considered
14. TTEs should be given weekly targets to catch ticket less travellers with a performance incentive at target and upside when exceeding targets
15. Big lines at the ticket counter are a major reason for ticketless travel. The number of ticket windows should be increased and additional ticket sales outlets/distribution partners should be enabled for tickets of unreserved category.
16. Ticket vending machines should also be installed to make purchasing tickets easier. more

It is well known fact that Railways is itself responsible for ticketless travelling. 1. What action is taken against TTE who very openly takes money from such travellers and allows them to continue their travel without issuing tickets to them. Where is Railways vigilance ? 2. They give them seats and berths in reserved compartment instead of waitlisted travellers. Where is Railways vigilance ? 3. Why Railways did not make ticket buying easy. Travellers has to face long queues with lots of Dhakka - Mukki right on Railways Stations and all the railways officers and staff just ignore it. The person who helps railways to earn profit is made by railways personals a laughing object.. Why more tickets counters are not opened and manned in time ? What the IRS (Indian Railway Service) officers are doing ? Do the need international study team to suggest for solutions ? 4. For tatkal tickets the needy persons are thrown out of queues and bitten up right in front of ticket windows and railways staff and security present on the Rly Stations becomes only observers. Why ? 5. Increase in penalty will only attract more bribe unless the Railways improve its own administrative system. with regards to all - B N Prasad -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 7/20/15, Ministry Of Railways wrote: Subject: New post "Curbing ticketless travel..." in [Make Railways Better] To: subraj_5@yahoo.com Date: Monday, July 20, 2015, 11:00 AM --- REPLY ABOVE THIS LINE TO POST A COMMENT- Find this email inappropriate - Unsubscribe Ministry Of Railways Ministry Of Railways posted a message in "Make Railways Better".

Ticketless travellers should be made famous. There should be a website like withouttickets,gov.in wherein the picture and the details of the defaulter should be uploaded. Anybody should be able to go to a link like - who travelled without ticket today and see the VIPs. Within a couple of months I think 90% of ticketless travellers shall come down. more  
Stringent ticket checking reqd in running trains more freequently more  
Entry into platforms should be based on tokens similar to metro stations. This could bring down ticket less travel significantly. This could be implemented at least in major cities. more
