Not only because of the factors you mentioned but also to encourage this trend - which helps to transition towards a better way of traveling.The Traveling Quadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514072402639110914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134075122438719620.post-86704491910298922152008-05-19T14:34:00.000+05:302008-05-19T14:34:00.000+05:30On a related subject, my friend asked an interesti...On a related subject, my friend asked an interesting question to me. We pay the extra Rs.20/- for internet reservation in IRCTC. The question is "Why?".<BR/><BR/>Aren't we actually making it more cost effective for them?<BR/>- Less people @ counter, implying les s people to hire<BR/>- less number of tickets for IRCTC to print meaning saving printing and paper charges for them!<BR/><BR/>My only theory is Indian Railways is paying the entity that maintains the infrastructure for them using the money. But that is *if* it is maintained externally. Even so, it must be one huge sum of money!Badhrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.com
