Most of us buy land or homes - but those things are already inflated and don't really add to the economy.
I'm talking about services. Public transport, government funded institutions etc.,
If you pick a train now - you have on an average 20 compartments - 1 or no first AC, 1-2 second AC (two tier) coaches, 2-3 third AC (three tier) coaches and 12 second class (three tier) sleeper coaches. See the disparity? That's because the others are over-priced and a little beyond the reach of the common middle class Indian family.
Pick the best these can offer - travel in the priciest AC train coaches that you can afford when you are back home. This helps the railways. And it badly needs an uplift. And it is and will be the common mode of transport for the next 20-30 years. I think that's the best way to give money to the government and help the economy in general. Can you think of something else?
Let me know.

Nice idea. The only problem is that not everyone has to travel by train to office every day. And if I am supposed to make those occasional flights, why not take a flight instead of train?

If you have the time, take the train. Airplanes are (mostly) private entities.. spending money there .. will that help? I doubt
