Clarke Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Second Class Ordinary Suburban - 2 paise per km Second Class Ordinary Non Suburban - 3 paise per km Second Class Mail Express Trains - 4 paise per km AC chair car - 10 paise per km AC first class - 10 paise done earlier + 3 paise per km AC two tier - 15 paise done earlier + 6 paise per km AC three tier - 10 Paise per km AC first class executive class - 30 paise done earlier + 10 paise per km First Class - 03 paise per km Sleeper Class - 6 paise per km As a result of the proposed hike, ordinary Second Class suburban fares for a distance of 35 km will go up by Rs 2 from Rs 8 to Rs 10, while in the non-suburban trains it will go up by Rs 5 for an average distance of 135 km. In Sleeper Class, the increase would mean a hike of Rs 50 for a distance of 770 km from Rs 270 to Rs 320. In the case of AC Chair Car, for a distance of 387 km, the increase would be Rs 40 from Rs 345 to Rs 385. In the case of AC Three Tier, for a distance of 717 km, the fare will go up from Rs 724 to Rs 800, an increase of Rs 76. Similarly, in the case of AC Two Tier, the increase would mean a hike of Rs 48 for a distance of 721 km, while for AC First Class it will be Rs 56 for a distance of 547 km. Giving reasons for the decision which he described as reasonable, the minister said the losses in passenger segment, which was Rs 1,059 crore in 2004-05, rose to Rs 19,964 crore in 2010-11, an increase of 18 per cent a year. This is likely to go up to Rs 25,000 crore in the current fiscal. Bansal said that he expects to get Rs 6,600 crore from the hike, keeping into account the incremental traffic volume as well. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/railway-fares-hiked-to-be-effective-from-january-21-midnight/314778-3.html
BeautifulGame Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Personally Won't mind if it increases better service and security .
Mariyam Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Isn't it odd that the fares for freight haven't been raised, but they have been raised for passengers. Railways revenue is mostly from transporting freight. Revenue from passenger traffic is substantially lesser.
