Lalu's railway budget and the profits he earned seems spectacular, what do you think?

Question

Except, of course, Lalu's in-laws travelling without tickets...heh heh..

Answer 1

really

Answer 2

I think that you haven't travelled in the trains for a long time. "Profit is not everything".

Answer 3

This one is spectacular

NO INCREASE IN PASSENGER FARES

SUPERFAST CHARGES ON MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY SEASON TICKETS REDUCED

REDUCTION IN FIRST AND SECOND AC FARES BY 18% AND 10% RESPECTIVELY

50% CONCESSION TO FARMERS AND MILK PRODUCERS TRAVELING FOR TRAINING PURPOSES

50% CONCESSION TO VICTIMS WITH LOSS OF LIMBS FOR TRANSPLANTATION OF ARTIFICIAL LIMBS

Answer 4

The railways have done well in recent years. Modernization of infrastructure and provision of better facilities to passengers will help sustain the turnaround.

Answer 5

It is just a mathmatical calculations and nothing more.  It is known to every one that Indian Railway has enough assets but it is not maintained properly. Public is willing to pay money but wants better facilities which are not provided to them

Answer 6

Since Lal Bahadur Shastri's time Railways have played a prominent role in the progress and growth of the country.

Its success cannot be attributable to a single person, but to the hundreds or thousands who work behind the scenes tirelessly. There are unsung heroes everywhere. The administarion of any national corporation is a big task and railways have alwayes been a mighty powerful part of India's lifeline. Let's hope his vision of further improvements and alliance into the private sector would be just as beneficial - not a sellout.

Answer 7

Beauty and Brains don't go together!
