How can I get a confirm tatkal ticket via IRCTC.? Since last week I have been continuously trying to book a tatkal ticket, but at 10:01 AM, all the vacant seats get full or regrets the ticket booking. I am amazed that there are so many trains to Hometown Bihar but still its a daunting task to get a reservation as confirm ticket.
Although I tried at reservation counter, only the first two people were able to get the confirm ticket, and the rest of like me were looking just in vain.
Its
...

a fact, that hardly 30% of total commuters know how to book ticket, have computer and internet connection and visit the IRCTC website to book the ticket. So where does this all Confirm ticket goes?
Its a railway ticket booking scam, which is a problem for a common people. If a person is poor inefficient to produce huge charge for a ticket to an agent then it means that he can never get a confirm ticket or can travel with a confirm ticket.
Even if the person is not having a good knowledge of Technology and does not have paid software to book tickets quickly by IRCTC, then he has to depend upon the agent only or will travel as wait-list passenger.

It is a problem for every common people and if it continues then it would be a dream for a poor person,middle class people who does not wants to pay bribe to an agent and the people who are not tech savvy; to get a confirm rail ticket.

Majority of people prefer trains only - so they start standing in queue in previous evening / night itself for ensuring comfortable journey the next day - only lazy people will blame railways for their mistakes . consider 200 seats for tatkal . there are more than 100 or + railway reservation offices in ur state . if one books 2 or 3 tickets in a counter , than whats the result ? plus those who are expert in online bookings also book it . So railways has given enough technology advancement for booking. lazy people will tell reasons to escape from their idiotic behaviors . if u want to travel peacefully , stand in queue from previous day and book the tickets . dont blame agents and technology . this post shows u r illiterate and lazy enough to stand in queues from previous nights .

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
