Train fares to increase from Tuesday – minimum fare is Rs 20

Date:

It is reported that it has been decided to increase the railway fares from next Tuesday. Railway department sources say that the related legal procedure is currently being prepared and the work will be completed by Sunday.

The rail fares will be revised up to half of the current regular passenger bus fare and the minimum fare will be increased to Rs.20.

The railway department proposed on several occasions to increase the train fares as the fuel prices have gone up, but it was not approved.

By now the bus fares have increased to the level that the people cannot bear and therefore the number of passengers using the train has increased. They will face further hardship through hike in railway fares.
