indian railway, irctc
https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/localcircles-s/img/localcircles_b_logo.jpg 0 000 they operated one Subidha express on 16th Oct, which was totally mismanaged.
Platform to board was fixed only 20 min before the departure time.
there was hardly any pantry car facility though they were overflowing with their inventory of food cereals.
bathrooms were not fitted with soap bottle.
we were not served food on the first night. only 2*300 ml of water was served. it was also not told no more would be given.
there was no wi-fi to connect irctc. Call center nos were not displayed.
before Vijaywada station the train was stalled IR and 5 trains were given go ahead. in the rest of the way Subidha Express was screaming for clearence....the train was late by 3-15hrs at Santragachi. IRCTC provides cab at Howrah station, but they do not provide cab at their satellite station, 7 km away by road.
irctc has charged Rs 2000 extra and the had earned extra out of our cancellations in other trains.
now they should refund us the extra amount for the Asubidha they had created providing all BER bogies in Subidha express.

Now a days indian railways are going to grab the money from the people as much as they can. But they should concentrate on the facilities also that much rapidly they have to develop. The cancellation of the IRTCTC is very bad Even the passenger travel or not they will collect the cancellation of the wait list ticket it was not ethical the government running firm is not following ethics then how come a common man will follow the ethics. The government should be the role model to do better services to the people. Not to loot the people like private organisations. Private travels will hike their prices when there is festival seasons now i think railways also following by introducing the premium tatkal.
Sugestions:
1.May be the cancellation of the tickets of the waitlist should not charged if the seat is not allocated until he cancels it.
2.Improve the facilities like maintain cleanliness of bathrooms in the train and stations ETC...
3.Run the trains to the areas which is having crowd for ex: there is double decker train from secunderabad to guntur which is starting in the friday morning 5 am This time no one will travel mostly the Software people will travel on friday evening This common sense is required while running a train this needs local peoples suggestions to get some data to run the train in a particular route. Unfortunately the officials of the IRCTC said because of there is no crowd so we have to cancel the train this is ridiculous. Better to do analysis before putting any train.

Subidha Express was full of Asubidha. IRCTC had neither planned nor nor managed it well. Now they have started sending IVRS to take feedback. i propose there should be a person/representative/monitor to oversee the affairs on the running train. Else they can substantiate with refund part of the fair for their inefficiencies.
