IRCTC unfair on the elderly quota

Image
How do the Indian Railways #IRCTC ensure that senior citizens always land up in UPPER berths?  Is there a complex set of algorithm that are at work to s***w the elderly? Is there a bunch of evil programmers waiting for old farts like us to book tickets just to enjoy seeing us huff and puff to get to the upper berths? The funny thing is that the earlier you book the more the chance of you getting an upper berth! Then you see a dapper young chap waltzing in and taking the lower berth! Not only that, he boasts that he booked a ticket only a days ago. #Railway #minister are you hearing? Is there a built in bias against the elderly? Is there a hidden policy saying "these buddas get discounts in the railways so let's s***w them by giving them upper berths."
