Train Fare Rise - VALID ???
Train Fare Issues - People from Middle Income Group, they can manage their expenses & Higher Middle Income group doesn't bother much about it. I am more worried about people who are earning 5 to 10,000 monthly , how they can afford this raise??
The decision of raise might be appropriate/ Valid, but people living in this income group, it will be difficult time for them.
Secondly, Vendors whose business is depends upon the Rail Transport.. they will also raise the price of the commodities they are dealing with. which is reasonably true....but there are class of people who just take this excuse and increase the prices of the goods. At the end, we are the one who has to bare this.
Is there any way out of this ????? more

Half of the people travel with out ticket, specially in north , people who purchase reservation ticket is forced to stand and travel, u will never find TC ...If govt introduce stringent rules to tackle such people and impose fine they can pump crores into railway kitty. Introduce bogies with lighter weight so that engines can pull more bogies and inturn help to make money by allowing more people to travel with same costing on railway.... Put a tab on Theft happening in railway and even if railway sincerely dump the scrap which lying beneth the railway land it can actually collect 10,000 cr easily...in last 60 years no one bothered to check on scrap lying in railway land unused. whether its accident bogies , old sleepers , track, copper wires more

True; the hike is required, looking at the loss of the Indian Railways month on month, but is the Railways looking at generating the revenue from Advertisements on the train and inside the train. The reach the Indian railways has is enormous, surely the companies would get attracted too. The hike proposed is substantial, the lower level group travels much more than the higher level which makes even difficult for the people of the nation to travel, this shall only invite even more ticketless traveling than current. more

There are thousands of sq.mtrs land under railways. Lease them to private builders to build large commercial properties useful to rail travellers and general public. Use this money to subsidise general public travel .. more

Salary will remain same or it might increase 5-15 % every year, pricing are increasing everyday due to Inflation, other economical factors & mainly POLITICS. Nobody knows how to escape from this...what people are doing is whatever options available, they chooses the the option in which one can save money.....he adapts shaam , daam , dand, Bhed etc.... what should be the way out can anybody revert. more
