Southern Railways — Journey not safe, not comfortable, not worth the money we pay.

I travel regularly from Chennai-Coimbatore-Chennai, the Train travel is not safer nowadays the reserved compartments are very much occupied by the unreserved ticket holders and ticket less people, it cause inconvenience for the people who travel with proper ticket.
I wonder if there is any difference between the reserved and unreserved ticket holders. I would like to have safer and comfortable train travel which may not be possible anymore if this continues. I would be helpful for the people who prefer Train Travel if the concerned authorities take action.

This has been happening in all the trains. I often travel from chennai to bangalore any chair car express and i have even complained to the TTE regarding this. Once i left my seat to use the toilet and i came back and saw that two open ticket travellers had occupied it and i had to search for the TTE for nearly an hour to report the issue.
Nowadays i travel by A/C coaches but even there i see the problem of the transgenders entering the coaches and disturbing the paasengers and demand money. The passengers are harresed if they object to give money.This can be termed equivalent to robbery with freedom. I am wondering if the RPF (protection force) really exist or whether they have a link in this and get thier share later...
All i could say is that "The money we pay is not worth it". The railways is not concerned at all regarding any of the passenger greviences... Even my Uncle works in railways and with him i have taken this matter up to higher authorities but it is of no use...

All that i would do nest is to try at a superior level...and See if the railway board exists or not..?
Respected Sir.
I am R.Mohan kumar i live in Bangalore. Now I am Congratulation of your achievement as a sucessful Railway Minister.
We were travelling 31st Dec 2008 to Madurai Train No.6732 and back to Bangalore on 3.1.09 Train No.6731.
When we were travelling in Second Sleeper we have lot of inconvenience like bad smell and we found lot of cockroaches and Rats in our Coach, the same we compliant to Mr.P.Ramalingam, Depty CTC, Erode, but he told us I compliant the same problem to my top officials, but no response till date, and he told us the same problem for all the Coachs like AC coachs also. We didnot sleep the whole night.
All the passengers are inconvenience and I personally feel your image will go down from the public.

I am requesting your good self kindly view the matter and take immediate action and take necessary steps immediately.
Yours faithfully,
R.Mohan kumar
Bangalore.
Dear Sir,

I daily travel in MRTS from Park town to Tiruvanmiyur. All MRTS stations are has lot of free space in the underground which is idle and gets spolied by dumping garbages.

I request the concerned authorities, that the space can be utilised by alloting to parking in all stations, Hotels, Shops or restaurants, so that the people travelling will be benefited by this support.

The other problem is that the ticket counter is available at one end of the station. But in tiruvanmiyur almost 95% of travelers enter through the first entrance of the traffic signal, (near the foot overbridge), whereas the ticket counter and also the automated swipe card machines are also placed at the other end, they have to walk along to other end to get the ticket. If one of the automated swipe card machines is placed two ends, it will be convinent to the travellers.
Hi Sir,
I am Shivakumar from vriddhachalam. I would like to share my
views about the worstest thing happening in *vriddhachalam railway Junction*.
Every day all *lights* including those in the platform where public reach
are always *switched off* doesnt matter even if it was midnight? The lights
are switched on only when the train arrives & gets switched off the next second when the train departs.
Moreover railway colony has become a public bar for all those who wanted to have fun & drink. can somebody take necessary action?
Even worse is going on under station particularly mandeveli station behind and under booking counter there is bar and u can find comdoms there. one fellow as built a house under the pillar of the station. I dont know whom to complaint he always will be in drunk state. i even picture of it.
