Indian Railways: Fix IRCTC online booking website

The Issue

Booking railway tickets is one of the most traumatic online experience for an Indian. The site is extremely slow, there are frequent connection errors and getting a ticket reserved successfully is a matter of patience and luck.

IRCTC has a monopoly over all online train reservations and any third party website has to go through IRCTC. This means the end-user experience for any third party site is at the mercy of IRCTC.

This is our chance to change India's train ticket booking experience for the better.
If you have ever been frustrated by the IRCTC experience, you must sign this petition.
