The Railways is now fast becoming a profitable institution in India. the Railway Ministry and the Minister in charge of this section is applaused by the media both national and international for turning the ministry without fleecing the passengers .
However is travelling by railways pleasurable? I will say a big no and I am sure most of the Indians will agree with me in this connection .
Even after reservation of seats we are sometimes forced to share our seats with commuters who travel unreserved. Passengers use foul language if we refuse to share the seat with them. .
Another thing, why is the TC allowing vendors and beggars into the compartment. Transgenders also create nuisance by forcing to shell more than Rs 10. With the exception of registered cateerers nobody should be allowed in the train.
Hats off to the Pallavan and the Vaigai express. Travelling in these trains is quite pleasant . I want the TC of other regions to take a page or two from them .
The Railway Ministry should take action and make the journey comfortable and pleasant to the passengers
