Some such reports claim that the railways have increased their rates. The Ministry of Railways has rejected these reports and made it clear that the ticket prices are the same. The ministry, which described the news as misleading, said there were no changes in ticket prices.
But why do commuters see the difference in fare prices? The Ministry has made it clear that the festival’s special trains, which were launched in October to address the commuter rush, are still running, and the ministry has not returned to its pre-Covid services. Starting in April-May with a special and a handful of special passenger trains, the services have been linked nationwide, but the corona has not yet achieved premature status.
The railways said the fare of special trains for the festivals has always been slightly higher than the normal fare, which has been around since 2015. Since those trains are still running due to high demand, the fare seems to be high but there has been no change in ticket prices.
The Railway in its statement said, “It should be noted that the railways are always subsidized for passenger operation.
“Not only that, the railways have taken special care of the low fares on trains, so they are less burdened during the Kovid season. Even in the case, 2S passengers do not have to pay more than ₹ 15.
