Paid a bribe of 110 rs to get a seat in an almost empty train

Reported on July 29, 2012 from Ahmedabad , Gujarat  ι Report #1179

I took a superfast general ticket of 120 Rs.(approx) and then I got onto the Jodhpur bandara train at Borivalli.
As the train approached halted at the station, I went to a TT asking for a seat, He wrote the seat no. on the back of my general ticket. This was the case for several others.

During checking he came and made a receipt (fine) of Rs 110 and gave me a seat in a train where there wasn't any rush, ( i did not expect the train to be empty). He asked me 210 and I paid that like the rest of the passengers in the train.
It is so much understood that Rs 100 is the bribe he would charge for a sleeper ticket.
This is a regular and the most and obvious place for corruption is during railway ticket checking.
But it happpens so openly that no one really cares now.

What's your reaction?
