Although Indian Railways enjoy the highest captive eyeballs in a railway system internationally, it earns less than 5% of its revenues through non-tariff sources. Many of the world railway systems generate 10% to 20% of their revenues from non-tariff sources.

IR typically has focused on increasing revenues through tariff hikes. It wants to change this and challenge the conventional thinking by exploiting new sources of revenue so that every asset, tangible or non-tangible, gets optimally monetized

We invite ideas from citizens on increasing non fare revenue for Indian Railways.

Dear Railway Authorities, Indian railway can rebuild their ticket counters as like toll plaza or metro station by which no one can travel without TICKET and it also help to control corruption in railway.

The gov should issue special cards for travelling in buses like BEST and other public transport buses and trains. These cards will have no authentication. The customer can refill these cards online with the card number.The customer will not have to pay through debit card since the bus conductor has to ask for the PIN from each and every customer.In order to purchase ticket in buses,the conductor needs to have a machine which will directly deduct money from the card.For details,see TAP CARD,US

sir,we can think to build the double decor coach..like BEST buses in Mumbai.this will save 50% cost in running trains.This can be possible by increasing coach height & slightly change in electric connectivity in local trains.Also we have to introduce LED bulb in trains.And window size should be increased so there is no requirement of fan in open air.

Railways can divide the platform in to platform blocks - e-g Tambaram platform 8 will have 29 sections - each can be coded TBM 801 - TBM 829 and each block sold for development at a cost. Idea is some companies will be interested to advertise in the platform block where the AC coach comes. Others may target unreserved. So in busy junctions, this will be a non fare revenue earner. Platform block based vending licence can also be given for targeted products.

Chair car trains having the interiors like that of an airplane can be started for day journeys where berths are not needed sleeping. These trains can cater to specifically business class passengers who need to travel for distances upto 8 hours. The coaches can be designed such that people can work on their laptops or other things while seated.

Dear Railway Authorities, Indian Railway can make a sustainable source of income by converting parallel strips of unused land along its railway tracks into "VEHICLE PARKING FIELDS" Lot of land is inside major towns and cities. People need a safe and easy parking space for their HEAVY AND LIGHT vehicles. This could be annual membership based, smart card accessible and smart card could be used in several cities/or throughout India. Think about it please!

रेलगाड़ियों में मेट्रो की तरह से ऐड को बढ़ावा दिया जाये स्टेशन पर साफ़ सफाई रख कर ज्यादा से ज्यादा ऐड के बोर्ड लगाये जाएँ,स्टेशन पर खान पान की स्टालों को ऐड के लिए कम्पनियों को लीज़ पर दिया जाये,हो सके तो बड़े ग्रुप्स को कुछ स्टेशन उनकी ऐड के लिए लीज पर दे दिए जाएँ रेलवे की खली पड़ी जगह को लीज पर देकर खेती वगेरा या सब्जी इत्यादी के लिए किसानों को दे दिया जाये स्टेशन परिशर में आने वाली सभी गाड़ियों से एंट्री फीस ली जाये जिस तरह से प्लातेफ़ोर्म टिकेट ली जाती है प्लेटफार्म टिकेट रेल परिश्र में घुसते ही लग

Use solid lubricants such as Graphite between rails and wheels which minimises friction and consumption of fuel thereby increasing the mileage and life of rails and wheels
