irctc is an amazing site. no seriously, if banner ads and skyscrapers and other numerous ads are any indication of the popularity of a site, nothing beats irctc. I remember once there was also an ad of airdeccan on the home page! That’s where I am getting at…it’s a good way to make money. darned good way. 25 bucks per booking, additional commission from the banks who provide their payment gateways, and a homepage jazzed up by advts of all hues and shapes…they make money, agreed, but why make love to us in the process?? How reliable is the site? If they have seen the site load increase many folds in the recent past, can’t some upgradation be done to tackle this traffic increase? why should i remain sceptical each minute if the next page will be shown or not? why should there be a server error 3 times out of 10 when i go to the site? why should the error occur after i have given my bank/credit card details??
