Train/Station Rating is on a RELATIVE scale, not absolute. We have a Rating called "average", which is the average of that member's lifetime experience travelling in ALL IR Trains. Good/Excellent means above Average and Poor means worse than Average.
.
A member is NOT expected to compare Cleanliness to Swiss standards, Punctuality to Japan's Bullet trains or Food to 5-star hotel grade. Yes, there will be some outliers, where members give extreme Ratings. But on the whole, it is expected that Good Common Sense will prevail.

Thanks for pointing this out. A note/guideline will be appended to the Rating Form.

Other than Good,Average etc it would be better if options like Escalator available,porters available,food at reasonable cost,retiring rooms available etc like options are given.It is observed that members give great ratings to their home stations.Other than the current system,it would be better if all the facilities at the station could be mentioned.

The Rating is a subjective measure of that member's "experience". It is NOT an objective compilation of what is or is not available at the train or station. It provides the member's own "subjective perspective", what they "feel", and what their "personal opinion" is.
.
For example, just because plenty of Porters are available at the station or if Retiring Rooms are available, the station will NOT necessarily get a "Good" rating. If the Porters were rude, dropped luggage or charged excessively, the Rating is expected to be poor by that member (with

further details provided in the box). Some other member may have had a good experience with the exact same Porters. So he will rate Good.
.
If Retiring Rooms are available at the station, but in poor condition or always packed, it may rate Poor. If no Retiring Rooms are available, but plenty of cheap accommodation is available outside, then the station may still rate "Excellent". The Details box will have more information regarding the reason for the Rating.
.
A member may have a better experience at his Home station since he knows the local language and customs, and so may mark "Excellent" for transportation. But, if an incoming passenger is treated rudely or fleeced by local auto drivers outside the station, then he should come home and give a Poor along with details.
.
Members are expected to Rate trains and stations as per their OWN individual personal experience, not by whether some facility is "available" or not.
.
Thanks.
