Dear Sir/Madam,
It's a mass complain against Indian Railway Tickect booking and availibility System and also the horrible position of public travelling on extra side births provided.
Complains are herewith:-
A]. Maximum number of tickets are being diverted to Tatkal quota. Just see for an example at the current situation today the 30th May time at 3PM wherein wait list is showing sky high of the given train:
Train No Train Name Date Source Station Destination Station Class
2842 COROMANDEL EXP 03- Jun- 2009 MAS HWH SL
Status Report
Serial No Date Status
1 3- Jun- 2009 WL 226/WL 117
2 4- Jun- 2009 WL 227/WL 86
3 5- Jun- 2009 WL 221/WL 114
4 6- Jun- 2009 WL 304/WL 204
5 7- Jun- 2009 WL 262/WL 157
6 8- Jun- 2009 WL 324/WL 248
At the same time if I select Tatkal, the online picture is :-

2 4- Jun- 2009 AVAILABLE- 0163
3 5- Jun- 2009 AVAILABLE- 0291
4 6- Jun- 2009 AVAILABLE- 0291
5 7- Jun- 2009 AVAILABLE- 0291
6 8- Jun- 2009 AVAILABLE- 0291
In the given situation either the journey of the intended passenger is uncertain or else he have to shell out more money from his pocket to get a confirm ticket. This is totally unfair. Literally you cannot find vaccancy in normal quota.[Then why Railways is saying that they have not increased the fare and though they are in so much of Profit.]That is another way squeezing public technically. An amicable resolve to be sorted out immediately on this matter.
B] Regarding Three births alloted to all the Bogies:
It's a very very tough situation for the passenger travelling with the 3rd birth in the side row of the bogie. He is like an untouchable to his co-passengers. Neither he can sit on the side bearth seats and nor people inside the births let him sit properly where he/she is entitled to. Practically a long journey from 9AM to 9PM [ 12hrs.] accomodating in a birth is too strain task for all four passanger sitting in a single berth besides, other three are also deprived of comfort for the one added. Just think for a ladies passenger carrying a Baby on that berth!!! Can the policy makers allow their family to travel in such a horrible cell!!! Where is the public amenities and caring? Just take a public poll while travelling in those bogie[ better say, cell] and you will find them not less than crying.
Hope you can look into this matter for the mass ingorant Indian public who can only afford to travel on Trains.
Thanks & Regards,
