Railways increased platform ticket price by 3 times, fare of these trains also increased

Due to Corona, the service of platform ticket, which has been closed for a long time, has once again started at the main station of the capital Delhi. This service has been started from midnight. Railways have also increased ticket prices threefold. Explain that earlier you had to spend 10 rupees for a platform ticket. At the same time, you will have to pay 30 rupees.

Due to the Corona epidemic, many train systems across the country are not yet fully restored, so it is mandatory for all passengers traveling from one state to another to take platform tickets when their relatives come to the railway station to leave. .

Due to the increasing cases of Corona, the platform ticket facility was discontinued 1 year ago so that only passengers, who have to travel by train, only reach the station and there is not much congestion at the station. But once again this service has been started.

5 times expensive platform tickets 

Platform ticket rates have been increased not only in Delhi but also in Mumbai. Rather, the railways have made 5 times the price here. Central Railway has increased the price of platform tickets at some major stations of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). According to the railways, the platform ticket price has been increased to Rs 50 in Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Dadar and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus instead of the previous rate of Rs 10.

Local fare increases too
With the increase in the platform ticket rate, the local fare has also been increased by the Railways. Railway has started the service of express train instead of passenger train, whose fare has also increased. Passengers will have to travel in local by giving Rs. 30 instead of 10.

If you have to travel from Delhi to Ghaziabad, then you will have to pay 30 rupees instead of 10 rupees. It is obvious that with this decision, the railways have started this journey and it has been convenient from one side. On the other hand, it is going to have a direct impact on the common man’s pocket as well.

This service was started at all the stations in the capital Delhi late Wednesday night. Due to Corona, the fare was increased. People arrived at the platform to collect tickets at the New Delhi station, people said that the platform is impacting the ticket pocket. Some travelers also said that this decision from the government would increase the revenue and further improve the railways.
