Agree
But trains are equally crowded and getting confirmed reservation even in day intercity is taking a weeks time, for night trains 7-14 days. Not to speak of trains from West Bengal, NE, Bihar, UP, JH, OD, CG all reserved coaches are filed with GS travellers with fine slip paying difference of fare. The number of trains running per day have decreased by 10-20 % in all zones.

The zones should work to provide more local passenger trains to segregate the local up/ down passengers and passengers travelling long distances.
E.g. between Wankaner and Morbi, one observes 6 DEMU trains running at different time slots for daily passengers.
But on the other hand, between Rajkot and Jamnagar, a passenger running on convenient timings of daily office goers, 59503/04 OKHA - VG fast pass was cancelled and people are left with no option other than the road.
Similarly

many passengers/ local MEMU/ DEMUs/ express were cancelled in every zone and yet not restored adding to the choking of existing trains

Poor Punctuality, Poor Cleaniless of coaches, Huge crowd in AC coaches due to reduction in SL, GS coaches in trains has forced many passengers to shift from Trains to Flights. Also Airports are comming up at many cities now.
Suburban passengers has shifted to buses, metros due to poor punctuality of EMU, MEMU trains.

    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...
