To say that Laloo turned railways around is the most cruel joke on the face of a common indian - who uses railways often. Only those experts who sits in the AC cabin of their office and only plays with the figures will make such a statement. Just look at the ground reality and then comment. The main reason for increase in railways profit is due to high amount of tatkal allocation for which a common man needs to pay rs.300 more. To get a normal ticket now a days has become that difficult that everyone turns to tatkal which gives railways more money, their profit - common man's loss. Then another thing laloo did was to introduce one more cruel joke - side middle berth. Only if someone travels in that fashion would understand the pain. Its not only difficult for the person traveling on that berth, but it makes other passengers lives miserable as this passenger has to be accomodated in the existing room for sitting. Result - extra passengers and more profit for railways - suffering for common 'aam aadmi' man. With crores of profit/reserves what has railways done for the common passenger ? his miserable travel conditions continues. He gets dirty compartments with rats & cokroaches. He gets the same dirty toilets at times with no water. He gets the same low quality food. In the last five budgets lalloo has put fwd he mentioned bullet train thrice, but in reality its just in the books. I wonder what you have seen other than these reality to shower praises on this manipulator.

Absolutely true. Laaloo should visit the loo in a train at least once to see the pathetic condition. Also, nowadays, the compartments are full of cockroaches, ants, rats etc. Nobody to clean the compartments.

You have pointed the grievances rightly but I see several reasons behind it.
unmanageable population, unequal growth of states which forces large number of migrations and lack of discipline of fellows who are supposed to provide service. The basic concenpt of SERVICE is missing. But what I feel, that one man can not improve entire population which lacks descipline both from service provider ( IR) to passenger who many times destroy railway property , cutting cussioned seats.
We are far away from a developed nations with manageable population.
