yesterday i met my friend who lives abroad after some 25 years for 15 minutes. briefly it was like old times and we filled up each other on our families mostly. at the time of leaving he asked me about his train ticket booked by a vendor, saying he found the service charge rather high. i also felt it was on the high side. my friend's indian appearance belies the possibility that he may be accustomed to higher service levels for the money he pays for the service. i hope the vendor was able to meet his expectation later that day. the vendors do good service and have regular clientele who vouch for their services. of course some of their trade practices are criticized at times. vendors by their practice innovations have an opportunity to define a good travel culture + experience for the travelers.
