Railway Stations should be converted in citizen friendly areas, especially for senior citizens. Ramps should be erected for going from one platform to the other as getting a loader gets very costly at times and now -a - days wheeled luggage can be moved around easily if proper ramps are in place. Last but not the least proper software should be incorporated in the reservation / ticket booking that senior citizens are allotted lower berths. more  
As far as possible senior citizens and ladies may be alloted lower berths according to their age, such software may be applied while applying reservation more  
More escalators and ramps should be made on stations. Because the passengers above 40 years facing problem to claim through steps and down to the platforms. more
