Condition of Railways in Tanzania, East Africa.
All tracks fenced properly. No trespassing issues. No animal and human trespassing there. Every RF should watch this video.
Trains and stations are

neatly maintained and No issue of "Bolo Zuban Kesari" there. (I am not taking about Bullet trains or European trains here).

Our IR is even much older than Tanzanian Railways, however still we have to improve ourselves a lot.
We people still believing in the words of politicians and many Railway officers have Politically oriented railway unions like SRMU, DREU, NRMU, etc etc. Also everywhere bringing caste and religion card everywhere even in IR. That's why development schemes on IR were delayed a lot.

Still no crowd management, non automated doors, ticketless travelling etc etc and so on in IR. Although Vande Bharat system introduced by IR is appreciable, still passengers complaining of leg space issues in Chair car coaches by some RFs. Also recently Lucknow Dehradun VB was occupied illegally by UR passengers. The crowd management is pretty worst here all due to increased population levels and demand of Shramik and Mazdoor log all over the country and also unequal share of income. Still our Per Capita Income is not upto mark although we have Adanis, Ambanis etc although Gross Domestic Product is increasing a lot.

I am seeing everywhere this "North South divide" often because there is an common stereotype is often North based passengers travel and occupy all seats and causing overcrowding. But same it is happening in South also well. All due to regional politicians whom want to secure vote bank but doing nothing to this solution.

We fining fines from Ticketless travellers, but ever IR thinked about installing Ticketing system like in Metro stations? Or able to take tickets even boarding train in case of UR trains although GPS won't allow to do so in UTS app.

We want to improve current safety measures,cleanliness and prevention of trespassing first here. Also an standard rule should be there for all. Then after improving we can think about Bullet trains, high speed trains etc.

PS: I am not an supporter of any political party, political agenda here.

For your views....

Tanzania rail total 2600kms length
Indian rail total 68700 kms approx length
I don’t say you can’t compare but atleast compare with someone similar to India in rail traffic density. Have some sense and kindly come with proper facts before spilling such thoughts out of your mind.

The way Tanzania developed its railway is good. We should appreciate them first. Rather than disagreeing That I first agree we need to improve IR. as mentioned by other persons we cant compare scale of things here. The way railways done in a country depend on demography and geography. Even though US has 2L kms of tracks they not even run 1% of IR run in any day and We have countries which have High speed trains like Japan China France Germany. Countries like Swiss follows excellent examples for public transit. India is very diverse we should aknowledge that and we must understand our weakness and plan accordingly. If India can pave highways which competes EU and US , Railway development is also possible. We should acknowledge the time and pattern needed before we fall for blaming games.

Agree with you most of the points are valid and need to be addressed in future when so called hype of Amrit Bharat Stations. People here can't digest the truth and ground reality but it's fact.

I'm curious how long the "140 crore population" excuse will remain valid, given that China, with a similar population, has a railway system vastly superior to ours. In comparison, Tanzania, a very poor country with a high fertility rate and a persistent AIDS epidemic—has a railway system that outperforms ours. Clearly, if Tanzania's railway system is better than ours, there is a significant issue with our own railway system.

Kindly Extend Howra Tiruchirapalli Express Upto Madurai Or Tirunelveli (Via Madurai). Madurai Has Only One Weekly Train (Kanyakumari Howra Express) Which Is Always Over Crowded And Impossible To Get Tickets Even Before 3 Months. Madurai Is An Important Destination, Temple City And Several Tourists From West Bengal Visit Madurai To See Meenakshi Amman Temple. Kindly Consider This Request And Extend The Train Upto Madurai. I Also Request To Extend Satragachi Chennai AC Express Upto Madurai Or Bodinayakkur For The Benefits Of Peoples.

Mission Raftar. Slowing down of trains. Everyone expected that trains would be speeded up.
On the contrary ,some SF Exp trains are being degraded as M/E trains. Some trains are slowed down by 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
