How can the service of Indian Railways be improved?
Here's an idea and it might a little radical. Let the Indian Railways compete. Open the market to new players.
Contrary to what people think, allowing other players won't completely blow out prices. That's the thing about the free market. The supply adjusts itself according to the demand. If anything, competition with private firms will cause firms to better utilize money and work on service, while making their services more affordable. It will increase the range of service. And it will make travelling in trains a better experience.
A lot of people think that of Railways privatization as privatizing the current Railways while retaining the monopoly. That is infinitely worse that what we have. A private monopoly is more oppressive than a government monopoly. No the idea is to let in other players and have the Indian Railways compete with them for the market.
A lot of people think that private players cannot be allowed to work because -
It is a public utility.

如何改善印度铁路的服务?
这是一个想法,可能有点激进。让印度铁路公司竞争吧,向新玩家开放市场。
与人们的想法相反,允许其他玩家参与并不会完全推高价格。这就是自由市场的特点:供给根据需求自行调整。如果说有什么不同的话,那就是与私营公司的竞争将使公司更好地利用资金并致力于服务,同时使其服务更实惠。它将增加服务范围。这将使乘坐火车旅行的体验变得更好。
很多人认为铁路私有化就是在保留垄断的同时对现有铁路进行私有化。这比我们现有的情况糟糕得多。私人垄断比政府垄断更具压迫性。不,这个想法是让其他参与者加入,让印度铁路公司与他们去竞争市场。
很多人认为私人玩家不能被允许参与进来,因为:
它是一个公用事业。

Because of the enormity of the undertaking, the hectic nature of the land acquisitions and the enormous investments.
To talk about it being a public utility. There are other public utilities as well. Think of telephones, cable, electricity, water supply, and hell even civic infrastructure. If private players can handle that without it being deemed oppressive to the people, there is no reason they can't handle the railways. And if they can't, that's where the competition comes in.
About the second point mentioned above. Look at the massive infrastructure projects in Gurgaon. They're all mostly private. The investment is not a big deal. The ROI is. The railways is an industry where an immense amount of profit can be made. It is figuratively a gold mine. Of course there will be laws governing the land acquisition.
The advantages of allowing private participation far outweigh it's negatives.
Better decision-making: The current railway system is a statement about politics. Not business. A bunch of squabbling politicians with no business sense cannot run an industry.
A more democratic system
The tax money generated from these industries will be immense.
Better service

由于这项事业的艰巨性、土地征用工作的忙乱性质和巨大的投资;
论及这是公共事业,还有其他公用事业。想想电话、电缆、电力、供水,甚至是市政基础设施。如果私人玩家能够处理好这件事,而不会被视为对人民的压迫,那么原有的铁路公司就没有理由不能处理好铁路方面的工作了。如果他们做不到,那就进行竞争吧。
关于上面提到的第二点,看看古尔冈(新德里的卫星城)的大型基础设施项目吧。它们大多是私人参与的,投资没什么大不了,问题是投资回报率。铁路是一个可以获得巨额利润的行业,它象征着一座金矿。当然,会有法律来管理土地征用方面的工作。
允许私人参与的好处远远大于负面影响。
更好的决策:目前的铁路系统是关于政治的声明,而不是生意。一群没有商业头脑、争吵不休的政客无法经营好一个产业的。
更民主的制度;
这些行业产生的税收将是巨大的;
提供更好的服务。

What is the department in railways with the best work-life balance under the Indian Railways?
Hi
Being a Apprentice trainee in Indian Railway, I think I have seen IR very closely than others who are not associated with it and I have a very good relationship with some group staffs to officer rank holders.
So coming to the question. Railway has so many department like mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Electronic/Signal and Neutral(who observes if all the works are performing with railway guidelines or not and report to the ministry in Delhi)
My training was in Mechanical department so I saw this department more than all of the above mentioned department.
I was under CMS( Chemical Metallurgical Superintendent ) SSE equivalent. My work was in Workshop as well as in Office. So I have seen both work culture.
Those who are working with lower grade pay has to work hard physically whereas those who are in higher pay as compared to those has to go through very mental pressure.And their main work is to supervision regarding the job.
Every month there is inspection from higher authorities in every department. And you have to prepare for that. In IR there are lot of posts vacant at this time and I think that's why the pressure is on its every employee very much and it should be. If government is paying you, it's your responsibility to give it back by your performance and help our nation to grow.
But one thing I would like to say that IR pays it's employees a very good and reasonable amount of salaries

印度铁路公司哪个部门的工作与生活平衡最好
你好,作为印度铁路公司的一名学徒实习生,我想我比其他与印度铁路无关的人更了解印度铁路的情况,从员工到高级管理人员,我与他们的关系都很好。
回到问题上来。铁路有很多部门,比如机械、电气、土木、电子/信号和中立者(他们观察所有的工程是否按照铁路指导方针执行,并向德里的铁道部报告)。
我是在机械部门接受培训的,所以对这个部门的了解程度比上面提到的所有部门都要多。
我曾任职化学冶金主管,等同于高级软件工程师。我的工作是在车间和办公室,所以我接触到了这两种工作文化。
那些薪水较低的人必须努力工作(体力劳动),而那些薪水较高的人则必须承受巨大的精神压力。他们的主要工作是监督性质的工作。
每个部门都要接受上级部门的检查,每月都如此。你必须为此做好准备,在印度铁路系统,目前有很多职位空缺,我认为这就是为什么每个员工都承受着巨大的压力的原因,这是应该的。如果政府付钱给你,你有责任通过你的表现来回报政府,帮助我们的国家发展。
但我想说的一件事是,印度铁路系统向员工支付的工资非常可观且合理。

How can the service of Indian Railways be improved?
Recently I travelled to Allahabad from Ahmedabad and back with my family of 2 children (both 10 years) and Wife. We travel quite frequently by train to various parts of India. And also do road and Air travel.
The travel from Ahmedabad to Allahabad takes nearly 24 hrs and both times (to & fro) the trains were late by 5 hrs so actually our travel time was 24+24+5+5 hrs i.e. 58 hrs. My kids, who were supposed to write an exam after reaching back to Ahmedabad at morning 4.30 am could not do so because train reached at 9.30 hrs and by the time we reached home, the examination time was already over.
Nevertheless, over the discussion, I asked my kids to draw sketches of their memories related to travel. My son drew a sketch of Railway Station full of filth, beggars, handicap & deformed people lying on platforms, dogs roaming in station premises, people spitting, shit on the railway tracks, water leakage and mud, dirt etc with a sea of people everywhere. My daughter drew a sketch of Airport which is very neat & clean, tight security everywhere, posh shops/showrooms, smart Air crew , clean water & toilets etc.

如何改善印度铁路的服务?
最近我从艾哈迈达巴德旅行到阿拉哈巴德,然后和我的两个孩子(都是10岁)和妻子一起回来。我们经常乘火车到印度各地旅行,还进行公路和航空旅行。
从艾哈迈达巴德到阿拉哈巴德的旅行需要将近24小时,两趟(往返)火车都晚点了5小时,所以实际上我们的旅行时间是24+24+5+5小时,即58小时。我的孩子们本来应该在凌晨4:30回到艾哈迈达巴德后参加考试的,但由于火车在9点30分到达,当我们回到家时,考试时间已经结束了,所以他们没能参加考试。
尽管如此,在讨论过程中,我还是让我的孩子们把他们与旅行有关的记忆画下来。我儿子画了一张火车站的素描,上面满是污秽,乞丐,躺在站台上的残疾和畸形人,狗在车站里游荡,人们随地吐痰,铁轨上拉屎,漏水,到处都是泥土和人山人海。我女儿画了一幅机场的草图,那里非常整洁,到处都是严密的安保,豪华的商店/展厅,聪明的机组人员,干净的水和厕所等。

When I asked them that why they have drawn such contrast pictures of memories pertaining to travel, they individually said that these are the first thoughts that came to their minds regarding a "Rail Travel" and an "Air Travel".
These two stark contrasting images in the mind of child forced me to think seriously that this is what is the image of Railway and Airport with every person at least in India. However, if you compare revenue earned by a Railway Station e.g. Allahabad and that of Airport at Allahabad, I am quite sure that it's the Railway Station which earns more revenue. But still it has very poorly maintained infra structure.
Is it because too many people enjoy the free-bees provided at Railway Stations?
Is it because Railway fails to safeguard and manage it's assets?
Is it because of 'Who cares?" attitude of employees of Railways?
It is not the question of who maintains the infrastructure?

当我问他们为什么会画出与旅行有关的记忆的对比图时,他们各自说,这是他们脑海中关于“铁路旅行”和“航空旅行”的最初想法。
这两个鲜明对比的图像在孩子的脑海中迫使我认真思考,这是铁路和机场的每个人的形象,至少在印度是这样。然而,如果你比较阿拉哈巴德火车站和阿拉哈巴德机场的收入,我很确定火车站的收入更多。但它的基础设施维护方面仍然得很差。
是不是因为太多人喜欢火车站提供的免费赠品吗?
是因为铁路公司未能保护和管理其资产吗?
是因为“谁在乎“铁路员工的态度?
这不是谁维护基础设施的问题?

1. Make each Railway Station a profit center with quarterly and annual targets. This will ensure that a Station Manager/Master/ Superintendent is not merely an Admin Head / Maintenance Head. He/She is also responsible for making it a profitable business.
Utilize the huge land parcels near the railway tracks to install solar panels to generate power and utilize this power for Electric Engine
Hotels can be built over the space available above Railway Station buildings
The space above railway station can also be utilized to open Shopping complex / Mall / Restaurants/Kiosks for Hotels/Taxi/Travel etc. Of course, high quality sound proofing will be required for all this.
Discourage passengers from carrying heavy baggage in the passenger coach. The baggage above limit to be booked in cargo the way it is done in Air Travel. Baggage above free-limit be charged without fail.
Start more seating trains for short duration travel.
Double-decker trains have more passenger-carrying capacity, hence more such trains are required
Create a position for Train Manager and make him responsible for complete business operations of the train. He should be held responsible for customer complaints. His Key Responsibilities should be to ensure 100% occupancy of seats, no revenue leakage (no invalid passengers), no passengers beyond the capacity of the coach, safety & security of passengers and railway assets, 100% customer satisfaction on the service quality, house keeping, sanitation etc.

使每个火车站成为利润中心,并制定季度和年度目标,这将确保车站经理/站长/主管不仅仅作为行政主管/维护主管,还得负责使其成为一项有利可图的业务。
利用铁路轨道附近的大片土地安装太阳能电池板发电,并利用这些电力为电动机供电
旅馆可以建在火车站建筑物上方的可用空间上
火车站上方的空间也可以用来为酒店/出租车/旅游等提供服务的购物中心/步行商业区/餐厅/售货亭。当然,所有这些都需要高质量的隔音。
不要让乘客携带沉重的行李上客车。超过限额的行李按航空旅行的方式在货物中预订,超过免费限额的行李一律收费。
为短途旅行增加座位。
双层列车的载客量更大,因此需要更多的双层列车。
设立一个列车经理的职位,让他负责整个列车的业务运作。他应对客户投诉负责,他的主要职责应该是确保100%的座位占用率,没有收益漏洞(没有无效乘客),旅客不得超出车厢载客量,保障旅客和铁路资产的安全,让客户对服务质量、保洁、卫生等满意率100%。

2. Stop the revenue leakage by eGovernance and right use of technology. There should not be free-lunches to anybody.
So many people take shelter illegally in a Railway Station because of lack of Access Control System. Only those who have to travel should have access to platforms (apart from staff, porters & few vendors) they way it is at an Airport or a Metro Station. If there are no unauthorised people at the platform and station premises, load on support staff like house-keeping, sanitation and facilities will also decrease accordingly. This will facilitate proper maintenance of railway infrastructure.
All visitors should be charged to enter the railway station premises and these charges should be justifiable because they will use the facilities of the Station and also it should act as deterrent to use the facilities free of cost.
This will also reduce the crime rate at Railway stations and people without valid travel ticket will not be able to board the train.
Make separate entry/exit for reserved and unreserved coaches at the station & platform itself. This can be achieved . The ticket of every passenger should be checked at these entry & exit points electronically and not inside the train. This will prevent the entry of unauthorised people at Platform & Train and stop the revenue leakage. This will also elevate the security and safety level for the passengers.

通过电子政务和正确使用技术来阻止收益漏洞,任何人都不应该享受免费午餐。
由于缺乏门禁系统,许多人在火车站非法避难。只有那些必须旅行的人才应该有机会进入站台(除了工作人员、搬运工和少数小贩),就和进入机场或地铁站的方式一样。如果站台和车站内没有未经授权的人员进入,那么保洁、卫生和设施等后勤人员的工作量也会相应减少,这将有助于妥善维修铁路基础设施。
所有访客进入火车站都应收取费用,不过这些费用应该是合理的,因为他们将使用火车站的设施,此外,它应该起到威慑作用,使人们不再免费使用这些设施。
这也将降低火车站的犯罪率,没有有效车票的人将无法登上火车。
在车站和站台上为预留车厢和未预留车厢单独设置出入口,这是可以实现的。每个乘客的车票都应该在进出站时进行电子检查,而不是在火车内才检票。这将防止未经授权的人员进入站台和列车,并阻止收益漏洞,这也将提高乘客的安全保障级别。

3. Integrate the multi-modal travel:
Keep separate platforms or railway stations (in case of bigger cities) for long distance and short distance trains and provide inter-connectivity between these two types of platforms / railway stations by providing bus facility or elevator / escalator etc to the passengers.
Facilitate integration of Rail+Road+Air travel by providing inter-connectivity through a single window. e.g. If a person wants to travel from Ahmedabad to Gwalior in shortest time, she should buy only 1 ticket which should include Air travel from Ahmedabad to New Delhi + Rail Ticket from New Delhi to Gwalior. Inter-connectivity from New Delhi Airport to New Delhi Railway station should be catered to in the ticket itself.
Reduce the stoppages of long distance trains (travel duration above 18 hrs) on smaller stations to reduce the travel time

整合多种联运方式:
为长途和短途列车保留单独的站台或火车站(如果是大城市),并通过向乘客提供公交车服务或电梯/自动扶梯等,在这两种类型的站台/火车站之间提供互联互通。
通过单一窗口提供互联互通,促进铁路+公路+航空旅行的融合。例如,如果一个人想在最短的时间内从艾哈迈达巴德前往瓜廖尔,她只应购买一张车票,其中应包括从艾哈迈达巴到新德里的航空旅行+从新德里到瓜廖尔的火车票。从新德里机场到新德里火车站的互联互通的费用应该被包含进车票中。
减少长途列车(行驶时间超过18小时)在小站的停站时间,以缩短行车时间。

4. Safety & Security:
Implement stringent Access Control Systems at Entry & Exit points for People, Vehicles and Material/Baggage
Plug all the gaps in perimeter security by barricading railway tracks upto 2.5 kms from the Railway station (both sides)
Effective & Efficient Procedures for Traffic Control System and Parking Systems the way it is maintained at Airports. Parking Charges for short duration should be low and for long duration should be exponentially high to prevent traffic congestion
Unauthorised / Without Ticket people should not loiter in and around Railway Station Premises
Central Command & Control Center (CCCC) for Security & Safety Operations should be established for every Division. This investment is worth it because of sheer number and scale of operations.
Cover each Train, Railway Station, Platform and critical parts of the Railway Track with CCTV Camera based video surveillance system
Deploy Biometric Access Control, Attendance and Contract Management Systems for Offices applicable for Railway Staff and Outsourced Support Functions to ensure only authenticated people have access to critical resources of Railways
Trains should be tracked through GPS or our very own Regional Navigation System which is yet to launch. Railway can be the first user of this system.
OFC (Optical Fibre Cable) based Intrusion Detection Systems which are available in the market can detect any crack or sabotage in the Railway Tracks. If any miscreant/terrorist tries to do sabotage/damage to the tracks, it will get immediately detected in Real Time.
Trains should have automatic locking door mechanism so that when a train is moving above certain speed, doors should get locked. This locking mechanism to be bye-passed only in case of emergency. The way it is in Metro.
Do away with Chain-pulling mechanism for Emergency. This system is misused by miscreants who want to alight the train or delay the train for their personal gain. Do a study & analysis that what are the top most genuine reasons for pulling a chain to stop the train by passengers. If those reasons can be addressed by some other means, then removing the "Chain-Pulling" mechanism is worth it.
Build more railway bridges and repair the old ones. Strengthen the safety measurements / arrangements of existing railway bridges

安全保障:
在进出站对人员、车辆及物料/行李实施严格的出入控制系统
通过在距离火车站2.5公里的铁路轨道上设置路障(两侧)来堵塞上周边安全保障的所有漏洞
机场交通管制系统和停车系统的有效和高效的维护程序。短时间停车费应较低,长期停车费应呈指数级升高,以防止引起交通拥堵。
未经授权/无票人员不得在火车站及其周围闲逛
应为每个部门建立安全与安全行动的中央指挥与控制中心。从运营的数量和规模来看,这笔投资是值得的。
采用基于闭路电视摄像机的视频监控系统覆盖每列火车、火车站、站台和铁路轨道的关键部位
基于光纤电缆的入侵检测系统、考勤和合同管理系统,以确保只有经过认证的人员才能访问铁路的关键资源
列车应该通过GPS或我们自己的区域导航系统进行跟踪,该系统尚未启动。铁路公司可能是该系统的第一个用户。
市场上可用的基于OFC(光纤电缆)的入侵检测系统以检测铁路轨道上的任何裂缝或破坏之处。如果任何歹徒/恐怖分子试图破坏轨道,将立即被实时检测到。
火车应该有自动锁门装置,这样当火车以一定速度行驶时,车门就会被锁上。这种锁定机制只有在紧急情况下才能绕过,就像在地铁里一样
取消紧急拉链机制,这一制度被那些为了个人利益而想要下车或想要火车延误的歹徒滥用。做一个研究和分析:什么是乘客拉链停车的最重要的真正原因。如果这些原因可以通过其他方式解决,那么取消“拉链”机制是值得的。
建造更多的铁路桥梁,修复旧的铁路桥梁,加强现有铁路桥梁的安全措施/部署。

5. Make the Rail Travel a World Class Experience:
Distribute the Ticketing Counters in various parts of the City so that everybody need not to come to Railway Station for Ticketing. This is easily possible because of Network Connectivity. Minimum people (those who are having break journey or those living in the vicinity of station) should come to Railway Station based Ticket Counter. Rest all people should have Ticket Counters in their locality.
Sanitation & Cleanliness : I must say Railways has put in tremendous efforts to improve the cleanliness in the trains and at Stations however because of lack of civic sense of people, one can find lot more to do. Long Distance trains which stop at fewer stations and in which passenger turn over is less are comparatively cleaner. Trains which have more stoppages and passenger turn over is high are mostly unclean. Not all the stations have Cleaning Services Teams and therefore it is most necessary to have Cleaning Services availability at all the stations. The time taken to clean a coach and toilet should be reduced to merely few minutes. This can be done by building up capacity. If the train stops for 5 minutes at a station, Cleaning Team should be able to clean a coach within 3 minutes.
Increase the height of the Platforms: At many stations, we have to literally jump from the train to alight the the platform. I don't know the logic of keeping the height of the platforms of some station so low.
Information upxe in Coach: All coaches should be fitted with an electronic screen which should display information like train speed, upcoming station, probable time to reach the station, on which side platform will come and other convenience information about the city.station etc. Some important announcements should be announced on PA System.
Improve the ride quality : Upgrade the coupling system and suspensions of the rail coach for smoother and silent ride. Present rail coaches are installed with old coupling systems which are very old. Suspensions have worn out because of which the ride is very bumpy and noisy.

让铁路旅行成为世界级的体验:
在城市的各个地方设置售票柜台,这样大家就不用到火车站去买票了。网络连通性,这很容易实现。最少的人(中途换成或住在车站附近的旅客)会去火车站的售票处,其余所有人都可以在当地的售票处买票。
卫生和清洁:我必须说,铁道部已经付出了巨大的努力来改善火车和车站的清洁,但是由于人们缺乏公民意识,人们多了许多额外的清洁工作。停靠车站较少、乘客周转较少的长途列车相对更清洁。停运次数多、乘客周转率高的列车大多是不干净的。并非所有车站都有清洁服务团队,因此给所有车站提供清洁服务是最有必要的。清洁车厢和厕所的时间应该减少到几分钟。这可以通过提高能力来实现。如果火车在一个车站停了5分钟,清洁小组应该能够在3分钟内清洁完车厢。
增加站台的高度:在许多车站,我们必须从火车上跳下来才能下到站台。我不知道把车站的站台高度弄这么低有什么道理。
火车车厢的信息更新:所有列车车厢都应安装一个电子屏幕,该屏幕应显示列车速度、即将到达的车站、到达车站的可能时间、侧站台以及其他有关城市车站的便利信息等信息。一些重要公告应在广播系统上发布。
改善乘坐质量:升级铁路客车的耦合系统和悬架,使其行驶更平稳、更安静。目前的轨道列车安装的是非常旧的旧耦合系统。悬架已经磨损,因此乘坐时非常颠簸和嘈杂。

Modernisation of Tracks & Trains: Implement High Speed Rail (Tracks) and EMUs. EMU (Electrical Multiple Unit) are used for Metros and Sub-Urban Trains to attain rapid acceleration/deceleration. To start with, Premier trains should have EMUs instead of conventional Engines. But this needs upgrading the tracks to HSR first.
Beautification of Railway Stations & Facilities: Indian Railways started with a Bang . In that era, it was one of the best in the world. But we got stagnated after that.
Redesign the coaches for Physically Challenged, Elderly and Children: Present design of coaches is not at all user-friendly for Physically Challenged, Elderly and Children. A large chunk of passengers consists of people from these categories.
Distribute the Ticketing Counters in various parts of the City so that everybody need not to come to Railway Station for Ticketing. This is easily possible because of Network Connectivity. Minimum people (those who are having break journey or those living in the vicinity of station) should come to Railway Station based Ticket Counter. Post Office in the area can host a ticketing counter for railways to de-clutter the Stations which are bursting from seams.
De-congest / De-clutter the old stations: All the big cities have at least 3 stations comprising of 1 main station and 2 smaller stations. These 2 smaller stations should be modernize and upgraded so that main station can be de-cluttered/de-congested. Further, multi-tier railway tracks (above ground and below-ground) will increase the capacity of the station to handle the traffic.

轨道和列车现代化:实现高速铁路(轨道)和动车组。EMU(电力动车组)用于地铁和城郊列车,以实现急加速/急减速功能。首先,高级列车应该配备动车组,而不是传统的发动机。但这需要先将轨道升级为高铁轨道。
火车站和设施的美化:印度铁路起步时轰轰烈烈。在那个时代,它是世界上最好的列车之一,但在那之后我们就停滞不前了。
重新设计残疾人、老人和儿童车厢:目前的车厢设计对残疾人、老人和儿童并不友好,很大一部分乘客都是这类人。
将售票柜台分布在城市的各个地方,这样每个人都不需要来火车站售票。由于网络连接,这很容易实现。最少的人(那些正在休息的人或住在车站附近的人)应该来火车站的售票处。该地区的邮局可以为铁路提供一个售票柜台,以清理因接缝而爆裂的车站。
清理旧车站杂乱拥挤的情况:所有大城市至少有3个车站,包括1个主站和2个小站。这两个较小的车站应进行现代化改造和升级,以使主站不杂乱/不拥挤。此外,多层铁路轨道(地上和地下)将增加车站处理交通的能力。
