According to media sources, The Ministry of Railways has rationalised the basic fare of passenger train services to be effective from tomorrow. The train fares will be increased marginally for non-AC Mail and Express trains by one paisa per kilometer and for AC classes by two paisa per kilometer. The Ministry has said that there will be no increase in suburban single journey fares and monthly season tickets. The Railways Ministry informed that the fare for travelling in second class will remain unchanged upto 500 kilometers. However, the passengers will have to shell out five rupees more for the distance ranging from 501 to 1500 kilometers, 10 rupees extra for the distance between 1501 to 2500 kilometers and for a travel distance of 2501 to 3000 kilometers, the fare will be increased by 15 rupees.
The Ministry of Railways has said that the move is aimed at streamlining fare structures and enhancing the financial sustainability of passenger services. The fare revision also applies to premier and special train services such as Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Vande Bharat and Tejas. The revised fares will apply to tickets booked on or after 1st of July and tickets issued before this date will remain valid at the existing fare without any fare adjustment. The Ministry said that reservation fees, superfast surcharges and other charges will remain unchanged.
