Compare and Contrast

Famous highly crowded railway station at Chennai - Mambalam station and its passengers.




Not equally famous oimachi station at Tokyo

Why such a polarization? We have everything, IT super power, Second largest democracy, yet our citizens are suffering like this.

The sad fact is that most of the software used here for automatic ticket vending machines and the ticket checking machines are coded by Indian software professionals. The same software professional when he lands on Menambakkam airport from Tokyo, wants to reach Mambalam has to wait on the Queue to purchase the EMU ticket at Trisulam station.

I think the railways has to do something for its Passengers and for their safety. Railways should be for Passengers not the other way around.
