(a) Rail timetable need to be structured. Presently there are too many classifications - Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Yuva, Durronto, Sampark Kranti, Express, Superfast, Passenger, etc. Maximum 4-5 classification should be enough. (b) We should move hub and spoke model for timetable. Superfast trains should run on trunk routes with frequent and less capacity trains feeder routes. (c) Double decker sitting trains for feeder routes. #IRTrains

Dear Railway minister, In Bihar there is tax on even Kachori & Samosa of 13.5%... So there is a Politically right time to increase general 2L & SL fare increase by minimum 15%... Another suggestion is that only BPL rationcard holder allowed to travel at subsidied rate... For All other forms of travels & People, railway not to give any subsidy & focus on revenue for up gradation & modernization & expansion.

#IRRailwayLines I want to attract attention from railway Minister regarding delay in completion of Saharsa-Purnia, Banmankhi- Bihariganj BG lines. Even after 10 years it has not been complete. Bihariganj-Kursela (35 Km) new line was announced several years ago, but the work has not started yet. This new line will help really underdeveloped and economically backward section of a region that is locked by several rivers originating from Nepal. I hope minister will consider request of poor people!

Reservation Date of 4 months is very much. It is kind of impossible to plan your vacations as early as 4 months. Booking a train ticket before 120 days is a pain. Also, cancellation charges after that is very much high. This is a loot of money from common public. Please consider changes in these two sectors.

Railway should focus on advertisement revenue , alternative for fare. We find illegal product and services post all around the rolling stock as well as premises. One can find a survey where these illegal posters in railway jurisdiction and should be sold to potential bidders. Google search or new paper revenue model is classic example where advertisement revenue go long way
