Deccan Queen - मेरे सपनों की रानी

Recently Government of India tried to make Indian Railways modern. Cleanliness of train or station is done by Private contractors. Paperless UTS is good, Paytm or IRCTC online booking is also good to decrease expense of Rail & transparent. Touts & some Rail booking officers also feel tough to earn illegally. But main target punctuality & speed of Indian Rail is 3rd world standard. Bande Bharat is over hyped after 160 KMPH speed. A bike or car can run 180 KMPH. SUV car runs 250 KMPH. China Rail runs 550 KMPH. Rail fare is not cheap. If you travel from Kolkata to Guwahati by train AC 3 tier fare is RS 1400 by ordinary Express & AC 2 tier or AC 1 St class fare is RS 3400 by ordinary Express. Duronto or Humsafar fare is RS 5000. Time takes 22 hours even delay is frequently incident. But Air fare...

is only RS 1600 & time takes only 1 hour with high punctual. Indian Railways should be private immediately to make world class. Rail fare would be more cheap under private. Telecom sector is successful after privatization. JIO is more cheap & popular than BSNL. I think Indian Railways is failed due to corruption of Rail officers. Even ticket black are done by Rail officers. Now Flight lessens to depend on train. TTE & RPF are lazy to duty & bribe is main target.
