IF RAILWAY ISSUE MONTHLY FOR SUPER FAST TRAIN FOR A DISTANCE OF 150 KM IT WILL EARN SOME MONEY. BECAUSE DAILY PASSENGER USUALLY TRAVEL IN SUPER FAST TRAIN AS WHEN AVAILABLE WITH MONTHLY FOR LOCAL TRAIN. THEY USUALLY ATTEND THE TRAIN IN A GROUP TO AVOID THE PENALTY BY RAILWAY AUTHORITY FOR AVAILING IN THAT TYPE OF TRAIN.

If railways stop draining money on HUGE salaries and perks (Salary of Guard is 97000 all perks inclusive) a new train can be purchased every month for free. On one hand government says there is huge unemployment, india is a poor country and on the contrary it pays huge huge salaries. Can't a guard be employed at a salary of a convent school teacher of 7000 p.m.?

There is no post for comments on how to make railways a profitable entity instead of loe earning/loss making entity. That will enable it lower the fares instead of increasing them. Has every one forgotten the phrase INDIA IS A GOLDEN BIRD.

भारतीय रेल एक बार फिर बधाई की पात्र है क्योंकि उसने विश्व में सबसे जल्दी कॉल सेंटर पर लगने वाला नंबर 08121281212 दिया है।।।। आप कभी भी लगा सकते हैं किसी भी संकट के समय।।।। बस रेलवे से इतना और निवेदन है कि इस नंबर पर बात करने के लिए किसी व्यक्ति की नियुक्ति भी कर दे।।।।। घंटों तक लगाते रहो कोई उठाता ही नहीं है।।।
