Suggestion - Corruption Free TTE on Board
1. No travel ticket should be issued on board.
2. Ticket should be issued Online, at Booking Counter or by a special staff at Platform (Platform In
charge) to issue ticket only for departing train. he should have a portable vending machine to address
last minute demands, or to accommodate WL tickets.
3. He (The Platform Incharge) should not be a traveller himself. he should be responsible for "on spot
booking" and addressing WL at platforms.
4. TTE should only check valid tickets and other arrangement of passenger convenience in the train.
5. TTE should submit a vacancy status shortly after the train depart. The status should be submitted
online through any mobile application [the way occupied seats are highlighted in flight booking and
movie booking] so the "Platform In charge" at next major station could issue or confirm the WL's
tickets against the vacancies for onward journey.]
6. Somebody travelling with WL ticket or without ticket should be reported accordingly and should get
down at next station and buy a ticket from the "Platform In charge" with hefty penalty
7. Issuing of "On Spot Booking" tickets and WL clearance should happen only at major stations. the route
plan should highlight those stations on respective train route.
8. The WL ticket should have a special code (4 digit alpha-numeric) that help the Platform In charge to interlink the WL ticket with newly issued ticket for transparency. more

If my waiting status is WL/1 There is no chance to get sleeper birth because TTE will first clear nine RAC passengers. In my view we should accommodate wait listed persons on RAC births. more

A good way to check corruption on the railways is that wait-listed passengers are confirmed by a separate staff, not the Travelling Ticket Examiner. With computerisation, all boardings should be controlled from the platform. Only travellers authorised by a boarding pass or some such system should be permitted to board the train and travel. The TTE should be the security man on the entrance of the train. He should be made accountable for the passengers. Airlines do this, why not the railways? more

Mr. Devesh Singh says, is it practical? Why not. Implement and see that it works. That is called accountability. Having come to India, I have noticed there is no accountability from anyone or any department. It appears you feel you have the right to be paid for a job, but you have no idea that modern-day jobs require multi-tasking. If you cant leave. Pure and simple! The points raised by Mr. Sahoo seem to send a valid message to the Railways. Look through the points and begin by implementing with supervision getting rid of the touts to start with. This is a big country with population bursting its seams, baby steps will eventually mean, crawling better and then running. When you believe that these small changes will bring relief to many passengers, it will show and unsolicited blessings will bring joy to all! more
