Hello rail enthusiasts, here are the few steps and decisions taken by our railways which are not so great as far as i believe. Have a look and share your thoughts.
1)" 3AC Economy coach "
Though the coaches were modern and trendy, nothing better was done by introducing them. Fare was almost equal to 3 AC with congested leg space and walking...
more... path. Now the concept itself is scrapped, and 3E coaches are merged with 3A where people pay the same price.
2)" Rake Standardization "
Drastically reducing number of sleeper coaches in the trains. This has made SL class almost impossible to travel in many trains, and even AC coaches are crowded with non ac ticket holders, especially near the coach entrance.
3)" Pathetic ticket booking mobile application and Web interface "
Mobile app and website interface was excellent back in 2017-18. Especially web version was too good and userfriendly. Now they are full of ads and useless captchas. Seems like railways is trying to make up the losses incurred by displaying ads on their app.
4)" Limited Ticket Booking per Month "
Initially there was no limit on the number of tickets one can book from their user Id, but now only 6 are allowed if Aadhar is not linked and 12 if linked. This will have impact on hardcore travellers, who travel frequently.
5)" Naming passengers as express with hiked ticket price but same no.of stops and same travel time "
Passenger trains serve people of small villages, so halts should not be removed, but i oppose the decision of naming them as express and charging more, with no change in the travel time.
Commemt your thoughts on these and if there are any other decisions which you think are not okay please list out.
please wait...Translate to EnglishHey, what's up train lovers? Check out these things Indian railways did that aren't so great, at least according to me:
1) "3AC Economy coach" These coaches were alright, but they didn't really do anything better than 3 AC. The fare was almost the same, but with less legroom and a more crowded path. Now they're gone and 3E is merged with 3A, so everyone pays the same price.
2) "Rake Standardization" These days, sleeper coaches are disappearing from the trains, making it almost impossible to travel in SL class on many trains. Even AC coaches get crowded with non-AC ticket holders, especially near the entrance.
3) "Pathetic ticket booking mobile app and web interface" The mobile app and website used to be great around 2017-2018, especially the website. But now they're full of annoying ads and useless captchas. Seems like the railways is trying to make extra money instead of providing a good service.
