This railway minister is really making some work for Indian railways.. Hope he continues his good work..... and brings

这位铁道部长确实有在为印度铁路办实事啊

希望他继续保持下去

Ark Here (Chennai, Tamil Nadu)
Govt is giving one sided picture! Few days back I waited hours in a local railway station for a journey of about 8 km by spending Rs,10. Government did not increase the frequency of the local trains for Kolkata suburb, but expects people to travel like a goat and pay them as human! In the south part of India, Indian Railways run almost semi-empty trains as no one bothers for local trains as road transport is efectively better and quicker! So in one words, minister pays some attentions to long distance trains but neglected local services over the years! May I know how much money railways makes/looses with metro services?

这只是事情的一面！

几天前，我要坐一段8公里路程的火车，票价是10卢比，我在当地火车站等了数小时。政府不提高开往加尔各答郊区的火车的发车频率，指望人们买的是客运票，却把人当做羊来拉。

在印度南方，印度铁路几乎是半空跑的，没有人会去坐市内火车，公路交通要便捷多了！

总之，铁道部长注意到了长途火车，却疏忽了市内通勤的火车！

Seal the platforms like airports to only allow passengers with tickets that will be a first line of defence against ticket less travel. This will also clean the platforms and remove menace of beggars, touts and anti social elements.

类似机场，把站台封起来，只有持票乘客才能进去。此举能有效解决无票乘车现象。

而且，站台能保持干净整洁，乞丐会不见踪影，兜售东西的小贩也会难觅踪迹，把反社会分子隔离在外。

Will this be only for infrastructure development or for new trains ??

这笔投资是用于发展铁路基础设施，还是用于购买新火车？

Prasad (Venkatagiri)
wow...very great...we want to see those bullet trains and quick journeys within short periods very soon...thanks for Modi ji, as he at least started the base work and i am sure he is going to complete the same

哇，太棒了

我们希望看到高铁，希望能体验快速旅行的便利。

多亏了莫迪姬，他至少奠定了基础工作

Suresh Prabhu's arithmetic implies that for this financial year 2015-2016, an investment of USD 24 BN ( Rs 144000 crore) will be made . Let us see if that happens first, before evaluating further plans of the Railways.

照普拉布的算术，2015-2016才年度的投资将会是240亿美元。

看看是否是真的，然后再来评估铁道部的进一步计划

It matters not how much money you pump into Indian Railways. It matter where it is used and how it is used. Take the example of Air India. Nevertheless, my good wishes are with the Railway Minister.

关键不是你往印度铁路投入多少钱，关键是这笔钱用在哪里以及如何使用。

印度航空就是一个例子。

虽然如此，还是给铁道部长送上良好祝愿吧

Chennaiwala (Chennai)
Prbhu is fast moving Railways towards Privatization. Without Privatization there is no chance of getting $120 Billion investment.

普拉布正快速把铁路推向私有化。

没有私有化，就不可能有1200亿美元的投资
