| Need Superheroes to reach the other side! |
Railway budget 2012-2013 will be presented on 14th March 2012 (rail budget schedule). We will probably watch it live / read the highlights / tweet about it. And then we will praise / curse it for a couple of days only to forget all about it by the next week.
So, how about creating a Mumbai Local's Fun Wishlist for Rail Budget... sochne mein kya jaata hai:
- Superman and Spiderman services: For those who prefer crossing tracks over using FOBs... Reach-The-Other-Side services at a premium of course!
- Meru Trains, Mega Trains, Easy Trains... (Hire a train... get a pick-up and drop at your doorstep).
- Relispray Exits: Special exit doors for those who injured their shoulders, feet, heads, etc. in the dhakka-mukki.
- Sleeper compartments: People who love to sleep need not use other commuters' shoulders as pillows!
- Half-priced season tickets for fourth-seat occupants.
- Haath dikhao, train roko: Running late for work and you might miss the train? Just wave to make it stop for you!
- 70% discount for standees.
- Air-conditioned local trains with aroma diffusers.
- Ban on pointed heels.
- Fine on Deodorant-less travel.
- Web check-ins: For guaranteed window seats! (idea taken from a Twitter follower of this site)
- Heavy fine for those who litter: Make them pick litter for a month.
- Separate compartment for shoppers and vendors: Love to shop while travelling? Board this compartment.
- Chillam-Chilli zone: Sound-proof areas in compartments where the arguing men and women can proceed with their jhagdaas!
- Railway announcement text indicators: Scrolling text transcripts of the announcements they make at railway stations... kuch toh samjhegaa!
- Fixed table-chair arrangement for college girls who want to complete their journals while travelling.
- Expandable compartments: Compartments will automatically expand based on the commuter inflow.
How about joining us on Facebook / Twitter.
Addition to the list by Mumbaikars:
- Automatic Beep censor system in compartments as a replacement for abuses. (contributed by Deepa Nair)
