It is an innovative idea to introduce Rolling Deposit Scheme for online booking of tickets on irctc website as it will avoid failur bank transaction. Let them introduce as early as possible.
ReplyDeleteIn the meanwhile, I have a suggestion to irctc as why they have not facilitating booking of reserved tickets for a destination station with a journey ticket. For instance, if I wanted to book a reserved ticket online, I am being permitted to book from Bangalore City to Chennai Central only whereas I wanted a ticket up to Guduvanchery beyond Chennai Central. This will avoid purchase of journey ticket from Chennai Central to Guduvanchery. Will the railway authorities look into this? R. Ram Mohan, Bangarapet, Karnataka
Very good option provided by IRCTC.
ReplyDeleteNice way to loot passenger's money
ReplyDeleteI welcome this option from IRCTC. Also, I support Mr.R Ram Mohan Suggestion. They need to find out some mechanism that the passenger can travel thru Local Trains freely, if they posses confirmed Sleeper ticket.
ReplyDeleteInfact APSRTC & KSRTC follows this method @ Hyd. If the passenger has confirmed bus ticket, passenger can travel free thru any local bus.
Similar arrangement Railways also should allow. Otherwise, standing in queue for local train tickets will be a big hassle before after tiresome journey.
