The Railway Budget 2015-16, presented by Suresh Prabhu, focused on several key areas including improved passenger amenities, technology adoption, safety, infrastructure development, and sustainability. Online booking of disposable bed rolls was indeed proposed. The development of a Defence Travel System to eliminate warrants was a stated priority. Bio-toilets were a major push for environmental sustainability and hygiene. However, the budget proposed increasing the advance ticket booking period from 60 days to 120 days, not 180 days. Therefore, 180 days advance booking was not a thrust area mentioned in that budget.
