I feel the Railways are just fooling common passengers, senior citizens. Besides, when the tickets are booked ONLINE, additional charge of Rs.30/- is levied towards transaction charges, Whereas our PM is trying to DIGITIZE the entire operations in our country. Under the circumstances, why this additional charges on when tickets are booked ONLINE by Credit/Debit cards? more

God only knows the dynamics of railway running. i have also suffered many times last 1-2 years. I fully endorse and support the views expressed . actually I even lodged the complaint but no acceptance that something wrong had happened or will be prevented in future. It is complete junle raj more
Yes,I agree to it. Earlier the rule was changed women above 45 were given lower berth. But these days they are giving Upper and middle berth to senior citizens but when you board the train you will see younger men and women have been allotted lower berth. Why this is so? more
Dynamic fare should be abolished. Rlys sell tkts @10% premium once 10% tkts are sold. Similarly premium is 40% of base fare when 40% tkts are sold. This is robbery. Why charge 40% extra to one who buys 1 week ahead instead of 4 weeks ? If Rlys want to do what pvt sector does then improve your efficiency also to their levels. more
