After the increase in train fares and freight fares, the government has now increased the fares of the season tickets for electric trains.
Currently, seasons tickets on a monthly basis are issued by calculating 15 times the fare of a single ticket.
From now, the fare will be equivalent to 30 times the free of the single trip ticket. In other words, the price of the monthly season ticket has doubled!
A railway official informed that there are no changes in the reservation fees, or any increase in the surcharge for the super-fast trains. The revisions announced would be made wherever it is applicable.
The passengers who have already made reservations will have to pay the recent additional fare at either the ticket counter or while travelling in the train.
