Although Indian Railways enjoy the highest captive eyeballs in a railway system internationally, it earns less than 5% of its revenues through non-tariff sources. Many of the world railway systems generate 10% to 20% of their revenues from non-tariff sources.

IR typically has focused on increasing revenues through tariff hikes. It wants to change this and challenge the conventional thinking by exploiting new sources of revenue so that every asset, tangible or non-tangible, gets optimally monetized

We invite ideas from citizens on increasing non fare revenue for Indian Railways.

1: Long haul carrier trains to carry trucks from point A to B. 2: Major trains timing to match with passenger trains, so that passengers can travel from major cities to villages. 3: Bus service provided by Railway that serves as tourist circuit for a city. 4: Railway to have link with hotels for overnight stay.

1.Incorporate flexible solar cell sheets on all train tops 2.Include a system which collects human excreta from train toilets through pipes by pumping into a container at the last bogie and it can be unloaded in a particular station to make compost. our stations become tidy and we also produce manure. 3. Plant Sandalwood, Teak and such type of tree saplings on either sides of the tracks and at stations where do you think there is no expansion required. 4. You can also grow fruit trees.

There are many suggestions regarding these problem.... 1. Regular checking of tickets in general coach of each and every train. 2. Seal the railway boundary at the outer so no passenger will left the train before station. 3. Apply the e-tickets facility for general also and it must be compulsory for each and every passenger. If they donot have mobile than it should be charged Rs.1/- for every printed ticket.It saves the paper cost and provides the extra income to the railway.
