How to generate more income to railways? These are few suggestions:-
2. At least 5 personnel(3 males + 2 females) should be available in all gates at any given point of time.
3. Keep extra personnel to deal with people who do not have a ticket - a separate room should be allocated with a panel who will impose penalty in flat 1-2 hours under CCTV surveillance, give receipt to all.
4. Make Platform tickets and General Class tickets availability online with date and time on it - this will allow people to get it easily, many people avoid taking because of long ques.
5. Tickets should be validated in General Compartments as well.
6. Add more Chair Car coaches(Non-Ac) and AC to let people have allotted seat, if possible introduce Double Decker chair car coaches for allowing more people to travel with allotted seat.
7. Make platform tickets valid for 2 hours only - penalize while they exit the station with 10 Rs for every extra hour, this will ensure required people are in stations and are using station facilities - this would mean, less noise, less litter, less nuisance, most importantly less people on platform which means, all passengers can move around easily.
8. Involve private firms to check passengers who violate luggage norms, usually 7 out of 10 people carry more than permissible weight of luggage, penalize them - this will generate additional income or discourage passengers from carrying more luggage which would help all passengers travel comfortably. more
