(leave fancy train announcements apart and focus more on small technicals).
1.one suggestion on my part is to convert Yuva trains to short distance shatabdi trains.
2.increase

cost of platform ticket to 10 (which is not much) which i think will not be opposed understanding the harassment we get into while not having change.
3.open tenders for MNCs like MC'Donalds, Subway, Dominos etc on setting food courts on big station premises.

1. All AC durontos with less than 50% occupancy shd be converted partly AC and Partly SL Class. Thus occupancy increases as aam aadmi can travel in durontos and also AC coaches will be freed for newer trains to come.

Immediate electrification and rail doubling whereever possible. this will free up more slots and trains can run much more faster. Long term benefits.

We are discussing +ve ways of increasing revenues.... Few -ve points from where we can change d system and also increasing revenues for IR.
.
1. Levying Penalty for dumping wastes in platforms / outside trains etc...PPL shd use Garbage Bin only.
2. Fining Contractors who do not regularly empty dustbins frm trains / cleaning. Since dustbins are not emptied regularly ppl throw out.
