Poor train services still a problem even after fares hiked | Ghanti Bajao

The Indian Railways, eyeing to increase its revenue share, decided to hike the fares of the passenger trains from one paise per kilometer, sleeper class fare by 2 paise per kilometre and for 3AC, 2AC and AC first class by four paise per kilometre from Wednesday.


The Railway Ministry issued an order on December 31 in which it said that while suburban fares will remain unchanged, ordinary non-AC, non-suburban fares are being hiked by 1 paise per km of journey. The railways also announced a two paise/km hike in fares of mail/express non-AC trains and four paise/km hike in the fares of AC classes.
