1) It took 3 hours to book to & fro Bangalore(YPR) - Secunderabad(SC) and Kacheguda(KCG) - Bangalore(SBC) booking!
Indeed very pathetic. The IRCTC web site behaviour was so erratic, abnormal delays to log in, abnormal delays to enter station code; abonormal delays to show up availability; abnormal delays to show up to enter name of Passengers, payment page & payment option; etc. and then to utter frustration the message that reads: "Connection problem"!!!!
2) With Lower birth preference for Senior Citizens, for two Senior Citizens of 66 and 73 years, finally after
...
more...
frustrating experience, with 455 seats/births available for booking on Garibh Rath of 5th November to Secunderabad, we don't get Lower births for both and with 49 seats/births available on Bangalore Express of 7th November to Bangalore (SBC) we get Upper Births!!!!
The IRCTC reservation system does not seem to Senior Citizens' friendly!!!!
Why not IRCTC take a relook at this problem????
Further, why not IRCTC stagger the normal booking to open for half the Railway Zones at 8:00 Hrs and the rest at 9:30 Hrs. Similarly, for Tatkal booking to open for half the railway Zones at 10:00 and the rest at 10:30 Hrs????
I assume somebody in IRCTC reads these Posts????

I guess it is the travesty and apathy in general that surrounds most of the governmental organizations! If I my say, with what I have seen in the last several years, admitting that there have been some progressive steps taken by many governmental organizations, there is no hope for at least next 2 - 3 generations to see things the way they should be! Last few years, particularly last few months, we all have seen the disastrous level of scams that have been making the news and how any one can expect a commitment to public service from most of the politicians in power other than taking the country for a ride!! No hope folks!!!
