Design changes desired by Citizens in Trains/Stations

2. Leakage free flushes should be designed for train toilets
3. If possible, waterless urinals should be installed on stations and inside trains

5. Taps on platforms should be redesigned so they do not leak which is currently very common
6. Redesign and reconfigure things so there are separate toilets for men and women
7. Exhaust fans should be installed in toilets
8. Redesign glass windows so they get properly shut
9. More charging points should be installed in Shatabdi and Rajdhani
10. The chain pulling system should be replaced with an emergency alarm system
11. All the lights should be replaced by LEDs to minimize the power consumption
12. The roof of the coach could be of fiberglass with opening hatches - for cool ventilation in hot summer

to make railway better stop the ticket less travel of railway officers !! and If they go on strike deploy Army like Indira Gandhi and shoot them on the spot.. !!! more  
This is ridiculous idea.You should have been in Hitler's Army. Railwaymen run the railways , for us, which is the cheapest in the world. You pay Rs 15/Km to a vehicle owner when you go on family tour!! what you pay, here only Rs 0.40 /Km. No Govt. in future will be able to start new trains at the rate we produce children in this country. Worst is coming in future. more  
Railways especially local stations need to spend money to maintain toilets and drinking water without fail. Even some of the bigger Junctions like Bengaluru did not have toilet facilities in all platforms?!!! more  
But every thing/activity requires fund, from where to generate it? more  
sir.its summer season please ensure all stations have water taps at either end of the stations as all general and ladies compartments are either ends. please ensure that all station masters look into this when he is on duty where people don t complaint on Facebook,wats app about no water on his station. more  
This is the need of the hour, where Rly. has to pay attention. more  
No of General Compartments should be increased more  
I have a design in mind and can draw it on paper but dont know how to send it. more
