Our honourable Railway Minister has bought railway several measures those are increasing treasury of railway by a remarkable rate. But i am confused that are these measures beneficial for common men or for railways? Well let me explain it to you in detail. Measures that confused me are:
Ticket Surcharge Increased:
Booking charge per ticket has been increased. It was so minute that you didnt bother to noticed it, but became beneficial for railways. Imagine if you are paying additional 10 rs per ticket, imagine number of thickets booked per day. Multiply them and you get a magic figure. Railways in profit.
You must be knowing that fares of super fast is more than a normal express train. He upgraded various express trains to super fast. But are they fast enough? I dont think so. Still they take same time but extra fare. Railways in profit..
New Three Tier Compartment:
Have you entered the new compartment? Now you will have extra some one to share your woes, woes given by railway. Same limited space with a extra head. Wow.. He has introduced the concept of side middle berth. Now sitting a side upper will be a dream. Limited head room you know! Getting to that side middle berth is a exercise in itself. It has also caused a problem of shuffling of seats. You apply for side lower, you have it in your ticket, but when you board the train, surprise, your new seat is upper. Wow.. They shuffled the seats. Railways in profit.
Bribe With A Receipt: Tatkal
Ya its a bribe where you are given a receipt. You book a ticket 2 moths ago and you get waiting. Coz tatkal quota is increased. Some one else pay extra amount and gets the ticket 5 days prior to journey. And you get zilch. Now look at it from the point of view of the person who buys it. When you buy a tatkal ticket you have to pay the fare from start station to end station of the train. No matter if you board the train midway. Thats alone not enough. You have to say a additional amount of 150 to 350. Wow. I mean what the HELL is this? Its again railways in profit..
