Railways - Sale of ATVM Cards, High speed trains between chennai to trichy

Need for availability of ATVM cards or renamed as Rail Smart Card A) ATVM cards are currently not used by suburban commuters in the ATVM machine since card is not available with public and they stand in line to buy tickets. B) Give free ATVM cards for those who travelled more than 1000 kms by booking in IRCTC website or at reduce price to order online and delivered at their home C) The ATVM will come handy for those who don’t use the UTS app to book tickets D) Regular travellers who go in unreserved or in suburban will benefit E) Give free ATVM cards to all SC/ST/students-school, college, post-graduate/BPL by filling form. Card wont cost much. If you cant give free cards partner with any bank to give ATVM cards to use as multi-wallet card
If premier trains are profitable for Railways. Railways must consider giving 3% seats or percentage less than tatkal in all trains at premier fare with booking opening 10 days in advance at least in A/c coaches in trial. If 3% doesn’t get filled then must be opened for tatkal on day before. Must abolish concept of premium trains in routes where even half train is empty and run those trains as normal trains with 30% percentage of seats under premium ticket. So will help middle class also get seats, railways can earn from premium tickets and tatkal tickets. Will reduce anger of passengers to some extent on the high prices of premium trains and empty running of trains. So the half empty also gets filed partially with normal tickets and partial with premium tickets for you so double profit in premium trains which run empty.
Trains with long distance say more than 24 hours must have vending machines by selecting operators after demo of models and possible position in train without disturbing passengers. IRCTC can also operate to earn revenue especially long distance trains and trains which run in day time for shorter duration in hot climate. Example: Pallavan express from Chennai to trichy in TamilNadu
Need for gatimaan express between Chennai – Madurai, Chennai – Bangalore, Bangalore – Hyderabad, Chennai to Hyderabad with same facilities in Agra – Delhi.
Need for sliding doors urgently in all suburban services even in Non A/C to reduce loss of life due to over crowding
Need to remove GPS logic for booking tickets in UTS app. GPS logic prevents booking tickets once crossed entry gate of station. I tried exactly near booking counter but didn’t allow. Even a person without ticket needs to reach booking counter to book tickets then how come UTS GPS logic works this way.
Ads inside the Suburban trains as visual ads will give lot of revenue like TV.
Need for A/C suburban in Chennai division.
Pending Tirumalpur to Arakkonam stuck due to Ministry of Defence – Navy and Railways for some issues. Pls work out to fix and start project will help complete connectivity in Chennai which is stuck for decades now. It is just 8 kms but not completed and electrified.
Contract to Japan or China or Germany for bullet train in Chennai – Bangalore – Mysore section.
150-200km speed operation in Chennai to Trichy division since it is feasible as less no of turns. With Gatimaan concept.
Chennai to Hyderabad gatimaan concept with sleeper facilities. A reduction of 3 hours in travel time will benefit with increase in speed.
