I've always been a big admirer of the Indian Postal Services and the Indian Railways.
The volume both these handle is just unimaginable.
The Indian Railways - I simply marvel the reservation system of the Railways. It was implemented in the early 90's, if I remember right, using a State-of-the-Art VAX system. Today, reservation offices that are well connected exist in every corner of the country. I hear that the system is pretty stable too. I am not sure how the 'Internet Reservation' works, but it's amazing to see this feature implemented ( Has it been hacked anytime ?).
Every Indian should be proud of the Techno Savvy Indian Railways. Just imagine the havoc it would cause if the reservation system fails !!

So, today, when I read this , I had to write about the Indian Railways!

abt 600 Crores is the revenue for a single month using Internet booking
Hi Narayanan,
Indian Railways internet booking system is awesome. Now a days 7 out of 10 passengers are carrying a e ticket IMHO. They also tied up with NGPay for mobile ticket booking and again its great. Also they have third party vendors like Cleartrip, Makemytrip.

This is not relevant to Indian railways....
