View of a overloaded train.I have been travelling frequently in the last couple of months, the mode of transportation i choose is Indian Railways, i love travelling by train, watching the countryside, its greenery's, small village and its people. Its always,a great journey when you get what you expect for the fare that you paid. In the last few journeys, i have experienced hell while travelling , they sell more tickets than the capacity of the train to carry people, travelling by A.C is no more safe, even waiting list people get into it.
I went to Puri by Okha Puri Express, every thing was fine, but the complete train was so dirty, no one came to clean the washrooms, that generally should happen in regular intervals, we boarded the same train from Puri, from where it actually starts, even then it was so dirty, when i said this to the T.T, he said "jab kisi aur ko koi problem nahi hai to aap kyun pareshan ho rahe hain? aap jaise logon ke lie to Aeroplanes bane hain". Who would continue the discussion after hearing this from the employee of the Organisation?
This durga pooja i went to Kolkata by East Coast, the train was first of all 3 hrs late, when it entered Vizag station there was not even space for the door to open, it was like this was the last journey of my life, people were completely packed up, thank God i always travel with confirmed tickets, but then whats the use, middle of the night i realised there were 2 women sitting near my feet, in a compartment where only 8 people can accommodate, there were 17 passengers.
Travelling by trains have become so troublesome, keeping aside those mishaps. Indian Railways needs proper management, instead of illiterate ministers, taking care of the railway ministry, educated young people from various, MBA schools should be hired to take care of the Railways. Train drivers should be given incentives for reaching on time, there should be regular check up for the cleanliness of all the trains in India, the train which is found clean all the time should be awarded, T.T should go for training in "how to talk to passengers", they should be reminded that passengers pay and they get their salaries.
