Flexi Fare System

This should be withdrawn forthwith. Do not exploit the common man for your shortcomings. Already you are charging more for tatkal and the recently introduced special trains. You have increased the cancellation charges. Formerly, for postponement of journey, only fresh reservation charges were levied. Now you charge cancellation fee also. These are all dubious means of collection. Man power in certain branches of railways is excessive. Independent audit should be carried out and staff curtailed wherever found excessive.Services have deteriorated inspite of increase in charges. Increase the number of trains before increasing the fares.
Everybody is equal, so fares should be same for all irrespective of when he/she books the tickets. more  

Volume business should decrease price and not increase. When more people travel, the cost per passenger is less. Where is the justification of 'increasing' the price more  
I 100% agree with KRISHNARAO KOLAGOTLA (Engineer). Through how many such tools this Govt wants to loot/cut-pocket comman man? Since coming into power by majority, this Govt is implimenting various policies only to take out money from comman man's pocket and, and in return give assurances.......& assurances; making life miserable. more  
Surge pricing pattern when Railways are the monopoly!! Mr. Prabhu, with all his dynamism has apparently submitted before bankrupt minds. People and passengers are the fodder, finish them. Still there is time to think fresh and reverse or modify this draconian measure. 10% will easily disappear. more  
Just wait- After giving lollipops this govt. is also going to fleece us and railway is no different. That's why this move of Flexi Fare System has come. We gave thumping support to Mr. Prabhu अब लगता है अहंकार आ गया है | कोई बात नहीं इससे पहले भी सब में हुआ था | These people are not different. more  
Now a days Rajdhani, Shatabdi become a travel means of common people as other trains do not maintain schedule time. Also 3 AC is first choice of common people. So increasing fare in such a manner is not at all justifiable. On the other hand we are expecting to have a fixed fare system in airlines but unfortunately the same system is getting implementing in railways. This will put more and more burden on common people and it should be continued. I think the best management is to give best output in minimum resource available, railway should think in that line also. more
