Train fares equal Airfares!



With the increasing demand for train ticket for Holi bookings, the train fare has shot up equalling those of airlines.

A
rise of 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent is being witnessed. As a result of
which a second AC ticket that costs around twenty five hundred could go
up to seven thousand or more if booked at the last minute.

The
motive is to earn extra twenty to thirty per cent revenue and so
instead of running special trains, the railways have introduced two
premium trains, namely Delhi- Mumbai and Delhi- Jammu Tawwi express
trains to run especially for the occasion.

The idea of running premium trains for seventeen routes was announced in the Interim Railway Budget.
