Let's make railways better

India is a very large country in terms of area and population. Also Indian railway has grown up by leaps and bounds since years. It is the biggest lifeline in our country as far as transportation is concerned. So it is obvious that we face lot of difficulties in getting tickets and reservations. Although in all these years our government has made these procedures faster and better, yet few more ideas can improve it. I have one such idea in my mind. and would like to share the same.

It is about platform tickets. In many cities people do not prefer standing in long queue just for platform tickets. Of course many are not willing to get, but then they are fined by the T.C. Also there are a class of people who wish to obey the rules but because of the queue they miss out. Railway is also loosing its income just due to lack of any facility regarding it. May be it is not a lot of amount for the railway but still it is not the matter of just money, somewhere discipline is also broken just for such silly reason.
So here is my suggestion if it could be possible. If we can have built up a machine which can give platform tickets as you enter a coin inside, just as we have in our public phone booths or weighing machines. This may save a lot of time of the passengers, visitors and ticket vendors. I think we should give it a thought.
