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.

5. Open an account for frequent travelers (even for agents). They should keep sufficient amount in it. This will generate a bar code by app or any means, this will be used for ticket booking or buying anything inside railway stn. The amount kept will be huge & can be used as deposits. 6. Though metal wheels carry heavy load, accurate & long lasting,but its inefficient. Try alternative methods like in Aeroplanes but needs to move in boundary or track.

# railways,waste in railways can be used in making biogas or compost. There can be library & movie lounge in one boogie of train where one can pay & enjoy services in long journey. There can be small local haat market of related destination route where one can buy things for memories.There can be yoga sesions inside special coach where one can participate by paying extra bucks.

During booking of parcel/any item (as like coal, cement or online shopping/post) railway should give a number to track the book item, where & when should it reach its destination. online shopping item dispatch can shift from air to rail.

Namaskar, 1. Stop corrupt from making bogus transactions in within & outside the Railway system. all empy shd be productive. 2. Ticketless travel can be prevented by bar code sensing in tickets & then giving entry. Rest shld have badges for access. 3. Prevent railway accidents by providing sensors in front & back of the train that applies break when in the same track. It shd also sense the track connectivity/breaks. 4. Use the Break (while stopping the train) to generate power & reuse it.

Lots of brushes and shrubs grow up with time along the railway track and nearby small stations. Regular cleaning of this unwanted shrubs and brushes are required and cost are involved in cleaning of this. After cutting of these shrubs they are dumped and burn out after drying causing air pollution again. We can chip and shred these shrubs and them make compost with the help of self help groups made in rural area. This will lead to boost in use of organic farming and generating revenue
