Indian railways is lifeline for entire indian population that is 10200 million.The population of australia is just 20 million and indian population is more than 50 times of australia and same if u think of canada both the country are three times bigger than india.
Population wise we have rank but matching facility of raillink is lacking and need to be doubled everywhere. Passengers have to sit like animals if u travel in any ordinary compartment. I am used to travel in compartments where the very entry becomes a circus, many invent ideas as follows.
1 Enter the platform hours before the arrival of the impending train.
2 que for ticket hours before the train arrival.
3 whole family members make several way to find seat and invent novel method by spreading
bedsheets, news paper and even their suit cases and ofcourse the upper luggage place is mostly
are occupied by sleeping and if it is heavy rush sometimes six to eight persons sit and risk.
He who is used to travel in such animal compartment has better suggestion.
The right time has come for railways to increase the facility for every indian citizen to travel decently just because come what may, train journey is most safe and cheaper hence including me
calculate saving money instead of comfort.
THERE IS NEED TO DECONGEST THE RUSH.
Yes I am sure railway department officials who travel in ac cars, in highest luxury cant make out
how it is like travelling in animal compartment.There is absolute no comfort and one has to endure
sleeplessness, fatigue and hunger too.
I HAD TO EAT TEN TIMES BECAUSE OF FATIGUE IN THE JOURNEY.
Yes since u have to sit in a tight conditon u become more humane and forget the pain of it.friends
before we sit in the train we curse the rush and uncomfortable sitting postion where even to change
your sitting postion is a herculean job but u find god lives here.
I REALLY LOVE THE WAY FAMILIES SHARE THEIR SMILE IN POVERTY.
Yes they are so poor, but their heart is so pure, sometimes I get tears seeing their misery because
when I am eating the poor child look in such a kind pitiable way, how can I eat, so I try to give as much as possible that I have.
IF U GIVE EATABLES THE POOR REALLY ACCEPT IT WITH GRATITUDE.
U may donate a lot, but when u share what u eat and drink, the poor really give u so much respect
then I wish oh god please also make me as poor as them, so when some kind man or woman
gives me food or coffee it will taste so delicious.
U HAVE TO SLEEP IN DISCOMFORT BUT EACH KNOWS HOW BAD IT IS.
In indian railway travel especially ordinary compartment is less equipped with any modern facility, most of the time toilet has less water but stunning news I give.
INSPITE OF RUSH THE TOILET IS REALLY NOT DIRTY GOD CLEANS IT.
This I am amazed to say, freinds most of the compartments of ordinary I have travelled too much rush it may be, but somehow people know how not to dirty the toilet, many times I find ordinary
sleeper has far less cleanliness than cattle compartment this is news really.
now coming back what is needed major surgery for railways.
1 Delhi should have double track to each state capital a direct link so that time is saved.
example delhi to bangalore let them make double track , similarly delhi to bombay double track, hence in this way nearly 15 double track may be needed and total land needed will be just many few thousands acres of land, but if u compare land usage for road highways railway lines
need just 30 ft for each track.
IF U DOUBLE THE TRACKLINE U NEED JUST 60 FT ONLY.
compared to double track line, roads need four times to five times the space needed for railway.
2 Train journey is safe it is universal truth hence.
History of indian railways.
Britishers introduced railway service for india, and main reason to introduce was for their administrative purpose otherwise road transport was fair weather basis and since the transport vehicles was not much there at all.
well what the britishers gave to india one is english and second is railway has given greatest strength for indian economy and it is very easy to visit any place starting from kanyakumari to delhi in two days time, and so economically .
WHOLE FAMILY CAN TRAVEL ALONG WITH FOOD PACKED.
Imagine a middle class family of five persons including children they pack food for three days travel and u can see it in long journey travellers, ur mouth get watered when they eat and u feel oh I should have also brought food likewise.
IT IS TIME GOVT SPEND AT LEAST ONE LAKH CRORE RUPEES FOR MANY PURPOSE.
Every district head quarter should have a well facilitated station with all amentities including rooms, hotel, shopping complexes and also internet facility, the reason of this need is tourist will feel safe to stay at railway station premises and their safety, saving of money and also they can roam the city they stay with ease. This one lakh crore rupees is just 1000 rs for each indian citizen. In a period of two years railway can make this much profit and we dont need income tax to be paid at all, i am sure our government can run just by the revenue .
