Railway reservation system should be staggered!! Instead of 90 days & Tatkal, it should be staggered to 90 days, 60 days, 30 days 15 days and Tatkal, seat allotment should be 20%, 20%, 30%, 30% and Tatkal,quota. This system will allow everybody to plan their journeys in convenient way and could travel comfortably. more
all TTE should upadate avaialablity of seats and bearths ofter leaving the station then autometically the RAC and WL list passanges had SMS alerts then autometically CORRUPTION will control and OR will increse. more
Another thought, very often First Class air con only has 6 berths available in the general quota*, a family group want to travel together, they require 4 berths, whatever form of staggered booking (120/60 or 120/60/30) would mean they can't book together, so, what would happen? Would a waitlist start after the first booking period, and if so, would the waitlisted passengers have priority over passengers attempting to book at the 2nd booking period? If no waitlist, then a group of 4 attempting to book the 2 or 3 tickets available (depending on how many staggered booking periods) would get the 'not available' message and wouldn't be able to book. more
The first come first serve basis concept in what is prevalent as of now. My suggestion is that should change....to what I have suggested in my comment. This will allow everybody a chance to book a berth. If one go to book a berth on the 40 th day, he finds it is WL, which does not get confirm that puts immense pressure on Tatkal quota which hets exhausted with in minutes of opening. Comforts & Convenience of travel is the key focus areas. more
