Updated by Rajos I was a passenger traveled by train no.16382 doj 08.10.16 via trvl to cstm. for tea i gave rs 10 first time and rs 2 returned to me. another occasion i gave rs 10 first time rs 3 returned. and for more than 3 occasions i gave rs 10 and no change returned telling that price is rs 10 for tea and coffee. hence for tea/coffee prices were being charged 7 or 8 or 10 as the waiters like nobody to question. the waiters were having change but never but never tell the menu price assuming that the price is 10 exploiting more than 30%. having a substantial amount of looting at the expense of average passengers hard earned money. so other passengers were also under that impression and keeping quiet. can the railways resolve this problem for potential passengers in future.

Updated by Rajos I was a passenger traveled by Train No.16382 DOJ 08.10.16 Via TRVL to CSTM. In the middle of the journey TC caught hold of 2 passengers who did not have reservation but traveled in Reserved Sleeping Class. With great responsibilities TC was telling what can I do if two passengers travelling without reservation, how possible we are in a loss etc. etc.. I expected TC to issue extra charge of 200 for that passengers. To my surprise he was bargaining for Rs 100 and put the money in his pocket without issuing ticket . Both TC and passengers were happy being saved 50% as the expense of public. Can the authorities look into it?

Updated by Rajos I was a passenger traveled by Train No.16382 DOJ 08.10.16 Via TRVL to CSTM. I noticed some point to be resolved by the higher authorities.
1) So many passengers were traveling in reserved compartment without reservation making much inconvenience to long journey passengers.
2)Noticed drunkards boasting in the train giving disturbances to especially women and family passengers. No Police or TC's were bothered for it.
3)The coach were outdated with no plugin for mobiles or the toilets were rusted and not clean.
4) Other vendors were wandering without control.
5) Beggars had good time.

Can the authorities look into the matter

At Panvel Station train arrived in time. But there was rain .The problem was that the train was alighting for few minutes and the display board was not proper resulting in confusion to passengers..I was travelling in S1 coach in between Pantry and AC coaches . corresponding to 13th coach from Motor.The S1 coach was written as S8 with chalk resulting in panic and confusion to passengers at last moment within the limited time. Can the authorities be more diligent and responsible in future to resolve such problems.
