Study Notes
Railway Operations Station
- A typical passenger information system includes details such as departure and arrival time, stops along the route, train numbers, and types of trains.
Passenger Management
- Passenger management involves efficient handling of passengers by facilitating railway systems and procedures to achieve the desired passenger behavior.
- It includes three key aspects: security, safety, and handling of complaints and ticketing.
Fare and Ticketing Management
- Effective revenue collection is crucial, and an automated fare collection system (AFCS) helps to deliver quality passenger service.
- Key features of AFCS include:
- Unified ticketing, allowing the use of interoperable cards in multiple railway lines and other modes of transportation.
- Fast transaction, reducing queuing time for passengers.
- Convenience, allowing card purchases and loading through various means.
- The AFCS system consists of four levels:
- Level 0: Fare media and tickets (smartcards, contactless).
- Level 1: Loading and acceptance system (TVM, Point of Sale machines).
- Level 2: Station computer (handled by station supervisor).
- Level 3: Central computer house (handled by the railway operator).
- Level 4: Central operating house (AFPI).
Ticket and Cash Management
- Ticket allocation involves ensuring sufficient stock of tickets from the ticket provider, with forecasting done annually based on previous year's historical data.
- Ticket allocation is divided into three categories:
- Ticket allocation for the railway operator.
- Ticket allocation for the station.
- Ticket allocation for ticket sellers and ticket vending machines per shift.
- Types of tickets include:
- Single journey ticket (valid only on the date of purchase).
- Beep card (four years validity).
Cash and Ticket Remittance
- Procedures for ticket and cash allocation, ticket selling, and ticket and cash remittance are crucial.
- Shortages and overages in tickets and cash may lead to disciplinary actions and audits.
Passenger Service
- Customer service involves providing professional, helpful, timely, and high-quality service to meet customer needs and expectations.
- It consists of two dimensions:
- Procedural dimensions (established systems, procedures, and processes).
- Personal dimensions (attitudes, behaviors, and communication skills of personnel).
- Dimensions of quality service include:
- The Factory (procedural dimension: timely, consistent, organized, uniform, convenient, efficient; personal dimension: insensitive, cold, impersonal, apathetic, aloof, uninterested).
- The Friendly Zoo (procedural dimension: slow, inconsistent, disorganized, chaotic, inconvenient, inefficient; personal dimension: genuine, caring, personable, sincere, approachable, interested).
- Quality Customer Service (procedural dimension: timely, consistent, organized, uniform, convenient, efficient; personal dimension: genuine, caring, personable, sincere, approachable, interested).
