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.

Please use swipe machines at all ticket counter for payment to make it cashless. It will reduce the expanse many resources/staff who are only involved in to count and collect the money and deposit it to the bank.

Make retirement age to be 55 yrs. And fill the vacancy soon. Because railway pays the salary of 2 employee to single employee of 55yr due to huge difference in basic pay

1). Remove the first A/C coaches from the trains between those stations where flights are cheap and equivalent to first A/C and increase the sleeper and third A/C coaches to accomodate more people. 2). Increase the length of trains by clubbing up trains moving on common routes at almost same times.(Just for example take Manduadih Express and Shramshakti Express between New Delhi and Kanpur). Then coaches can be removed from manduadih after reaching kanpur. This would reduce delays a lot.

सबसे पहले रेलवे को अपनी संम्पत्ति को पुनर्निर्माण में या निलाम करना चाहिए क्योंकि बहुत से कोच और पटरिया सड जाती है। रेलवे को हर एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन में 1 कोच chaircar लगानी चाहिए।एक AC और एक 2nd seating इससे रैलव्य के किराए में भी वृद्धि होगी और पैसेंजर को भी सीट आसानी से मिल पाएगी। रेलवे को अपने खाली जमीन पे जल्दी तैयार होने वाले पेड़ (जैसे पापुलर ,uk लिप्ट्स) लगवाना चाहिए इससे एक तो पर्यावरण संरक्षण होगा दूसरे long टर्म में पैसे आएंगे।
