What Causes the Most Customer Service Issues for the Railway Industry?

Overall, the primary reason that customers of any rail service contact the customer service department is for making a complaint. Complaints vary but some of the most common are:

• Being treated poorly by railway employees. This includes things like rudeness, not being helpful, and even discriminatory behavior.
