Reorganize the Ministries in the Union Cabinet. For a start just have 1 Transportation Minister and bring Railways & Aviation under it. This will allow a single Cabinet Minister to be the nodal agency for all Transportation in India

Which brings the question (analogous to airlines) - should we go for hub-and-spoke model for HSR, ie high-speed between big cities and slow passenger trains from those hubs to other stations ?
