They are planning to balance all fare by multiples of five for example commuters will be charged Rs 5 for the distance whose fare is Rs 5, Rs 4 or Rs 6 and Rs 10 for the distance whose fare is Rs 7, Rs 8 or Rs 9. This logical increase in fare would let many passengers to pay one rupee less and maximum Rs 3 more
Hi Dev..its good news but this increase entirely upon the railway minister to declare this by issuing a circular in the next few days or wait till the announcement of budget on February 25,2013. I am sure fee will increase this time.
Few days back..it was that kolkata metro fares won't rise but the metro officials still had some hope and now there are good indications from the board to restructure the fare. There is less than three weeks left to declare Railway Budget.
