So tired nw, we arrived kano around 10:30pm. We spent roughly 29hrs 30mins for the journey despite some unnecessary delays on the way. Inside the first class coach. 17 Likes 6 Shares

@ suyamasta the delay were caused primarily due to the management of the railway service by the government. Govt has no business managing the railway, rather, it should be managed by the private investors while Govt act as the regulatory agency just as its done in the telecoms sector. Let me list out the problems below: * sometimes first class tickets are sold when it's not certain that a passenger will secure seat. * some of the staff still this mentality of Govt job, behaving as if they are doing the passenger a favour. * At some stations the head of the train will be removed and driven to another place to get fuel, while I fuel should be made available in such stations without need to wait unnecessarily. * some staff reserve first class seat for pple by verbal agreement even though they have not made payment. * some staff try to make money illegal by bringing passengers in after collecting their money. Though some of their staffs are very friendly I must admit. Had a very good time with many of them 44 Likes 2 Shares |
