Re# 5185705-1              
** Charging 10 Rs station development charges with a 10 Rs. unreserved ticket is a folly.
** For people travelling in general coaches of express trains (in many trains worse than cattle), Rs. 10 would be too much.
** Charging Rs 50/- for upper class passengers would help competetors of IR low cost airlines/ luxury buses/private cars

** Instead of spending heavily on making airport type luxurious railway stations and charging people the amount should better be spent on other necessary heads like doubling, strengthening/ augmentation/ upgradation of track/ bridge.
** Railway is best suited for poor people's travel (non ac class-95%-), middle class (low cost AC chair car/ sleeper travel) and rich person's luxury travel (cabin/room ACFirst/ Palace on wheels type). Only the third category comprising a would not mind to pay Station Development Charge.

It is just a step to make private players earn some money in the name of station development.
Yes u r correct instead of spending money in airport like station development, money should be spent to develop small stations, doubling, tripling, strengthen existing lines and wagons maintainance as there r too much derailments nowadays in IR.

** Railways is not charging daily commuters anything extra!!! MST holders won't be paying this station development. Nor will the poorest travelers such as second ordinary. But they will still be able to enjoy benefits of this development.
** 10 Rs is better than the 15 still being charged.
** People don't mind paying even 100 more for cab/auto. They won't mind paying 25/50 extra for the amenities.
**
...
more...
In comparison, luxury buses/private cars don't offer Waiting halls/rooms, toilets, refreshment or free wifi at originating/destinations. Neither do they offer in travel toilets (add showers for AC1 which even airlines don't offer).
** Road travelers do pay toll some way or the other which escalates costs but don't complain. Here, too, 2-3 wheelers are exempted. In many stretches cars are also exempted. Poor taken care of. Who is complaining?
** Station development means more facilities to pax like longer and more platforms, better waiting facilities, entertainment, shopping while waiting -- mall like (most of developing stations will have this facility), more and better connectivity to other platforms and the free wifi.
** This will attract more pax!!
** Do you want all these facilities/amenities to come at the expense of non railway using tax payers? Anyway, they are already paying for all rail users like doubling, strengthening/ augmentation/ upgradation of track/ bridge, new lines and projects like DFCs and HSRs etc.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
