Although Indian Railways enjoy the highest captive eyeballs in a railway system internationally, it earns less than 5% of its revenues through non-tariff sources. Many of the world railway systems generate 10% to 20% of their revenues from non-tariff sources.

IR typically has focused on increasing revenues through tariff hikes. It wants to change this and challenge the conventional thinking by exploiting new sources of revenue so that every asset, tangible or non-tangible, gets optimally monetized

We invite ideas from citizens on increasing non fare revenue for Indian Railways.

As it is seen that most of the time the passenger is idle. Especially the kids. Govt. should spare one complete bogie or part of compartment for recreation where passengers can pay & avail various activities. The initial infrastructure can be obtained through sponsors so IR would not spend anything but start earning revenues as passengers start using this facility. This can be similar to any mobile recreation activities as we have in cruse.

1.allow advertisements in and out side the raiwlay-bogies. 2. allow the use of railway line to run private railways, just like there are private air lines and private buses on government owned roads. the fares can be capped at the level equal to the indian railways. 3. increase the length of the railway platforms from the present approx 1.5 kilometeres to more than 3 kilometers to accommodate more bogies, it will also help the passengers, who travel many a times standing.

CLEAN TOILETS,PAID WELL as per use- A lot of people do not use long distance trains because of dirty toilets. Old bogies can be used to make toilets. (apart from existing ones). These will serve a couple of wagons on either side. Safai karmcharis will be paid as per use to clean after every use. Railways can charge per use, say Rs 100/- so as to take care of expenses of cleaning material and labour. RESULT: Overall increase in usage of trains and use of old bogies, also more revenue generation.
