********** TTE *******

Reported on February 13, 2012 from Vijayawada , Andhra Pradesh  ι Report #2850

On 4th Feb 2012, I booked a tatkal ticket for my 5th Feb travel. I took two tickets from Rajahmundry to Bangalore by Seshadri Express. I got waiting list as WL 21/22. After Chart Preparation, it came to WL 4/5. So, I asked the TTE to confirm WL once the RAC and general WL is cleared. I literally walked behind him for 2 hours after clearing for RAC and general WL. Once they are done, there are 7 more berths which were vacant. When I asked him to confirm, he asked me INR 200 extra as bribe to confirm. I challenged him with rules. Then he said this is how the system will work and very rudely took INR 150 and confirmed the berths till Bangalore. I was very much frustrated and wanted to complain this to someone, but could not find anyone as it is a government body. So, I strongly think, ********** should have private-public partnership with 51% stake with government.
