REMOVAL OF SENIOR CITIZEN CONCESSION IN UPPER CLASS
Railway has finally stopped the senior citizen concession in all upper class like 1st AC, Stabdi etc.
This step is against the past procedure of concession to Senior citizen & disable person. during all government of all parties. Railway is only trying to make money in every sector.
None of us knows what will happen if & when Bullet train comes.
This act of removal of concession to senior citizen & disable person is done without any reason & even against right of senior citizen,
With a letter I will go before our Hon. Prime Minister & Railway Minister to reconsider & apply concession to Senior Citizen & disable person in all class & all trains.
My question is that will government ever think of removing the SC ST concession ? more

Whether Railway is loosing by this concession or not it is not ethical on the part of GOI..Railway Ministry to scrap concessions at higher classes also. Are the elders who travel in higher classes are sinned persons so that GOI has denied it. Is it not atrocious on the part of GOI by doing this scrapping. more

As regards concessions to senior citizens, railway was not loosing, but the loss is due to nonprofessional way of running the trains. Only way to reduce the expenses, by running trains in true spirit that is Express and Super fast Express trains should run as it's meant for. Only way is to reduced unwanted/enviable stops (Small stops) where hardly 10/15 people embark or en-train the train/s. Minimum distance between each station-for Express trains MUST BE 150 Kms AND for Super fast trains it should be 200 kms. Minimum speed for these trains must be 120 kms/per hour. more

No one should have any concession. Let all concessions be removed for MP / MLA etc / etc Ex- Employees etc than it can be given to financially weak Senior citizens only. If Rly want to run in Profit then It should be made independent from Politicians. Everybody who want to travel by railway he has to pay. In spite of my observations sr. Citizens who are financially well shouldn't get concession. It is loss of Income. Another the Sr. Citizens who are not habituated with A.C. Making noise to reduce the AC , which become uncomfortable to another passengers who are travelling in AC . I have frequent experienced it as i am travelling in rly since last 35 years. more

Perhaps, it is high time for the Indians to learn from the Bengladesh students! Young and energetic youth of India must come forward and demand abolition of all kinds of concessions, previleges & reservations, including that of the elected Members of Parliament & Legislative Assemblies, Public Servants,etc., and let there be equal treatment for all citizens of India please. more
