After railway, we need to improve on our airplanes, airports, and air servicesBy: Dr. Divyesh Raythatha | Saturday , 4 Jul '09 10:58:35 AM Reply | Forward Mamta Bannerjee has come out with really a good railway budget. It takes care of poor and needy people. She also plans for new trains. I fail to understand what does she mean by world class stations. Today, most of the developed countries use airplanes, cars, like means for travelling. They hardly think of developing new trains or railways and train stations. They develop most modern airplanes, airports, cars with latest technology, and comforts with safety. If an underdeveloped country claims that they have excelent, modern bullock carts or highest number of bicycles, it is not a prestigeous issue. It is o.k. that we need trains because very few people can efford to travel by air and use cars. I think, our government should start claiming of world class, international levels only if it is a comparable issue with other countries. Actually, we need to improve our overall standards of Air India, Air India Express and International Airports in Ahmedabad and other places.

Does it make any difference to youBy: freddie9(Indian) | Friday , 3 Jul '09 16:15:39 PM Reply | Forward Does it make any difference to you because most of the time you are in the plane. So why bothered, Whatever the profit comes from the railway income take the money and put in non-profitable organisation like Air-India. Most of the Industry run by the is not making any profit because most of the politican are not paying when they are travelling whether it is railways or Aircraft.
