•Trained sniffer dogs for usage by RPF at
railway stations across India in shifts. The sniffer dogs must be trained by
Army, State police, CRPF & other border security forces to use in Railway
stations as huge crowd of public are entering and dogs are the only option left
to ensure to have better security. Since nowadays depending on technology &
humans for security wont be enough due to money play and foul play at times.
Sniffer dogs must be at 50 per GM division and trained every 3 months and tested
separately regularly by tests by state police, army and will be added advantage
for security. Total 250 in 2 years
•Non availability of options to recharge R-wallet for usage in railways for booking suburban tickets and unreserved tickets is not available neither in IRCTC website nor UTS app or anywhere. We have to go to a stupid website setup for that alone or to the counter. How did your designers or officers think of this concept it is totally wrong. Have the option to recharge R-wallet through debit card and internet banking within the UTS app, IRCTC app and IRCTC website immediately. Currently the recharge of UTS app has been favoured to paytm I have serious doubts on why this was done and Rs.10 extra charge per recharge. Have you all gone Mad. When such a big IRCTC website you can build why did you depend on paytm to recharge seriously doubt the Railways or the officers who designed this. R-wallet recharge by debit and internet banking will help Railways earn revenue as money will be there in the wallet and railways can earn revenue by using that money. But using paytm for this will only lead to your loss. And also after adding debit and internet banking to the payment option to help reach of the app and to reduce crowd at booking counters.
•After changing app issues as listed above then put an offer that recharge of R-wallet for 3 recharge above 100 every 2 months Rs.10, Rs.500 recharge as Rs.50, Rs.1000 as Rs.75 will be credited to R-wallet. All tickets booked at least 15 days every month in the UTS app then add Rs.10 as credit to R-wallet to continue usage. These 2 strategies will not be big loss to Railways as this money will not be refunded. Since no wallet offers refund similarly R-wallet will also not offer any refund once credited. This will lead to self promotion of R-wallet. Also give option to Recharge R-wallet inside the UTS app
•I am not sure if you have an app to book unreserved tickets. Embed that in IRCTC app or UTS app also for unreserved tickets booking across the country. As they need the most since they have to book within 20 mins before train arrives so standing in queue will lead to missing train or run to train without taking ticket. But if app is there they can buy after boarding train also.
•Put large ads in cardboard sheets with sticking of print outs neatly on ways to use UTS app as many still don’t know that app exists. The best ads will be exactly above the booking counter so that all will know. Another ad you can place at the entrance of the booking counter also. Currently the UTS app is for certain stations only it is not justified. Just extend to all stations what difficulty you have you can reduce load of your employees and also reduce unwanted wait time at booking office.
•ICF and Kapurthala and the coach factory which did Mahanama train to redesign at least few EMU coaches of each major suburban route in the country into A/C EMU coaches with mobile and laptop charger. No need for toilets due to heavy usage. This must be secret project and done in 6 months use the apprentice students who work in certain workshops across Railways. The refurbished EMU must have fibre glass doors like metro. The coach if designed is good then don’t go for tender to private to reduce costs. After trial you will know by feedback.
•Using existing Metro coach manufacturers in the country production capability by creating a tender to invite those who can make EMU coaches with A/C facility and facilities similar to metro coaches but with broad gauge size. 50 coaches can be made with bid split across 2 companies to help reduce coach delivery time with total of 100 coaches to replace existing EMU coaches in cities and remodel EMU as DEMU to use in rural areas similar to current shuttle trips run. The current price of metro coaches can be used as base price to identify rates and plan accordingly. The earlier tender planned for 300 coaches with new facilities will lead to delay as current factories in India can be used which make for metro or imported some of them similar to how LHB was imported as technology transfer to be used by ICF, Kapurthala to make in India. There are various combination but combine all together some as imported with technology transfer, some to private to make, some to Railway factories to use existing for refurbishing.
•Ensure toilets in all suburban stations currently not available in major stations and not visible of location. Example: Tambaram(TBM), Mambalam
•Having barcoded/QR code tickets in all types of tickets irrespective of unreserved, reserved, A/C, non A/C, suburban stations, etc. in certain stations of UP, Maharashtra, Bihar, TN will lead to real ticketless travel reduction. The number of suburban stations are very less in the country compared to express train stations but ticketless travel scheme implemented in all suburban stations will increase revenue immediately. Please also put Barcode/QR code for monthly pass also. The bar coded system or a smart card or coins which can be re-used like used in metro stations may also be considered since it is time tested across India & worldwide. So for ticketless travel several solutions are there. For now print bar code in tickets but work fast on IR smart card faster at Rs.20
•Elevated corridor in Mumbai and Delhi announced in Railways consider maglev train like Shanghai Rail by PPP & China funding for fast travel for different end points of the city and the suburbs
