Who has the time or space for wi-fi?
Wi-fi is a necessity today, but I would have thought comfort was more vital than connectivity.
We need basics such as comfortable benches and cleaner washrooms at our railway stations. Spaces along the tracks could be beautified and slums removed in such a way that they do not return.
Stations should have lifts and better connectivity with arterial roads, perhaps through foot and road overbridges.
Food stalls should be cleaner, their rates standardised and their offerings improved. Change-dispensing machines could be installed too.
Stations could be beautified to reflect the culture and heritage of India.
What we need first is a more pleasant journey.
— Karuna Chandwani issues that need to be addressed for the safety and security of travellers. For starters, the gap between trains and platforms should be fixed. It is putting commuters’ lives at risk.
Millions of commuters travel in subhuman conditions daily. In order to accommodate more passengers, the number of local trains should be increased and they should have 15 coaches.
The fans inside trains often do not work. The railways should make sure such lapses in maintenance do not occur.
The toilets are pathetic. Authorities should focus on cleanliness and better maintenance by those hired to keep them clean. Such steps would actually make travelling by train a better experience.
