Vande Bharath is the new flavour of the season and quite welcome at that. But in the proccess has IR neglected the SLEEPER CLASS so abjectly that it is now the NEW GENERATION UR with the 3AC taking the place of SL ?
Until say about 5 years ago, I was an inveterate traveller in the SL class, but after my pitiful experiences in 12863/64 HWH-YPR-HWH Express trains I was reluctantly compelled to shift gears to 3AC. Now with 3AC gradually going the way of SL, what with WL/UR pax occupying space between the doors and blocking access to the toilets, I have recently started patronising 2A. For how long, God alone knows.

Here in Goa they increased fines for riding without helmet from 100rs to 1000rs but i have seen instances of people escaping the fine by paying a bribes of 200 to 500rs to the officers.
So more than the rules the problem is the implementation of those rules.
Regarding the scenario in trains it is a two fold problem first Railways officially allow heavy WL to earn more revenue through cancellation charges and second the corruption in Railway staff who collect bribes from the people travelling illegally in trains
