why does'nt rly board scrap quota / pass system for rly employees / MPs both present & ex...if half tkt rule cud release 20 m berths per year...then this rule could release at least 50 million additional berths equivalent to running 50,000 trains annually and 136 trains daily...if I have 2 children aged between 5-12, then option 1, pay for 2 half tkts without getting any seat and adjust both with myself (either they sleep or I), option 2 pay for two and half tkts and get two seats / berths, option 3 pay for full three tkts...what a ridiculous rule...i would urge rly board to increase fares and not squeeze the passengers like this...
