A suggestion for improvement of service to bona-fide travelling public:
General public of well-aware of the problems of getting confirmed ticket during eleventh hour. Number of tickets were booked by agents in advance .
There are occasions when entire family / aged people have to commence travel in eleventh hour like hospital assistance, attending funeral etc.
Keeping in mind of...
more... the plight of the bona-fide passengers I make the following suggestion.
A special train may be introduced in the dense traffic route as follows:
a. The boggies combination may be similary to that of express trains.
b. No advance reservation
c. Fare = 2 X normal fare
d. Tickets may be issued only to the bona-fide passengers
and their identity proof may mentioned in the ticket itself.
Preprinted may be issued with necessary column for marking
id proof detail.
e. Tickets may be issued just three hours before commence of the
journey.
f. Minimum distance : 250 KMs or 4 hours journey
g. Each compartment may allocated with a TTE who like
a bus conduction issues ticket in the intermediatory stations.
I request the members to consider the points and offer their suggestions also.
