Two strange non-friendly actions added to idscomfort of people travelling by trains.
a) Stopping of telescopic rates, wherein every extension of journey, one has to buy fresh ticket at higher rate, as compared to earlier 'telescopic distance' tickets or even if travelling by different classes to journey from Point A to C. Example, if from A to B you travel by ACIII and from B to C in AC II tier, you have to buy TWO different tickets at higher cost. Or if you had bought a ticket for travel between A and B, and want to extend it to C, then you have to buy ticket from B to C at a higher cost, as there is NO extension rule now.
b) Some dody rightly mentioned that 30 % of all seats are for TATKAL, for which you have to PAY from Starting station to destination of train !! (and NOT your starting and destination stations).
How you call such acts as people friendly; one fails to understand!!
Not much to talk about corruption; which clings to RAILWAYS like DIRTY coaches. A clerk doing 'today's reservation' on computer at DELHI expects you to pay bribe for vacant seat!!!
