If the Railways are really interested in making the travel in Indian Rails pleasant and memorable in long distance trains, they must follow the following suggestions : 1. Each and every reserved bogie (whether Sleeper Class, Chair Car, AC Chair Car, Ex. AC Chair Car, AC 3 Tier-2 Tier & 1st Class) must have an individual TTE cum Attendant to look after the comfort/amenities/safety of the passengers and drive out unwanted people from the bogie. It was a practice long ago followed by Railways but discontinued by the greedy politicians acting as Railway Ministers to show profit and earn vote bank !!! 2. No person should be allowed to board or travel in any kind of reserved coach without a valid reserved ticket. Persons with daily tickets or monthly tickets or with railway pass or with general ticket must not be allowed to board & travel in any reserved coach of any class. If only these suggestions can be adopted, I think the Rail Travel in long distance trains would be most pleasant and safe one and passengers would not mind paying 10-20 or 50 rupees extra for providing these facilities. I hope, all the readers who are active in this circle will admit it. Please admit and support it openly more

Suggestions are adequate . However process and means have to be built in to avoid misuse and favouritism . Usually in quota system genuine passenger does not get the benefit ,but influential ones use it wrongfully. more
