The ticketing system can be made more fancy more technology oriented and still more easy to use. But all those things are of no use if present demand and supply gap of ticket is not addressed. Presently all the tickets are booked in many (about 80% of trains) trains within minutes of opening of booking. Getting a railway ticket becomes even difficult than winning a lottery. Any idea to overcome this demand and supply gap.

The booking of general ticket should be made available online. Also on the respective website, information about seats left should be provided. This will help the people decide whether they want to go in the train, they can find if a train is going to be conjusted. Also the limit on general tickets is very necessary.

Electronic ticketing system can be based on the Delhi metro. No of tickets for general tickets should be limited. At least there should be a space for standing in general coach.

There should be facility to buy online ticket for general coaches too. Our ticket cheking system is very bad.I used to travel in reserveation & general coaches both.I have seen many times people travel with general ticket and TT do nothing coz they are corrupt. In general coaches TT never comes so many people travel without ticket. So there should be electronic ticket checking system. A machine should check ticket(tocken or some code) before entering the train.

Why ticketing should be done by Govt. Stop this totally. Give license to large number of people with commission. Take deposit from them and fix them responsibility. Within next twenty years there should not be manual ticketing counters. In stations they should be automatic and if it is manual, it should be agents.

IF bus tickets can be issued electronically in a moving bus, why not private agents with the machine (who are licensed)to issue tickets? There are hand held instruments. They have to be in uniform and easily identifiable.

18 frequency of trains should be as per season..in some areas trains run empty and in other areas are over crowded in a particular season. This will utilise resources better 19 Passengers should be allowed to choose seats as per their convenience. 20 porter booking should be made online to reduce hassle

14 allow corporatea to run online movie facility on tablet or screen in every coach. This will improve revenue and provide customer facility. 15 instead of general sitting chai car should be introduced to increase capacity 16 if the toilets are modernised and faces are npt disposed on track..the track can be layed with solar panels. This will reduce electricity bills and line loss. 17 cover railway station teen shades by solar panels. This will further improve electricity efficiency
