Important Points:- Slightly higher fares for short-distance passenger trains done ONLY to discourage people from travel which is not most necessarySlightly higher fares only in less than 3 % of total trains runningCovid is still around and in fact, worsening in some States. Visitors from many States are being subjected to screening in other areas and discouraged to travelThe little higher price is be seen as a Proactive measure of Railways to prevent crowding in trains and stop covid from spreading.Railways already bear the significant loss in every journey by the passenger. Tickets are heavily subsidized Indian Railway announced that " Recently there have been some reports in the section of media about the higher price being charged from those traveling in passenger trains over small distances. Railways would like to inform that these slightly higher fares for passenger and other short-distance trains had been introduced to discourage people from avoidable travels and those which are not most necessary. These fares are fixed at an unreserved price of mail/ express trains for the same distance. Covid is still around and in fact, worsening in some States. Visitors from many States are being subjected to screening in other areas and discouraged to travel. The little higher price is be seen as Proactive measure of Railways to prevent crowding in trains and stop Covid from spreading. It may be recalled that Indian Railways had to stop running regular trains due to Covid related nationwide lockdown on March 22nd, 2020 as a measure to counter the spread of Coronavirus. Indian Railways is constantly increasing the number of passengers carrying trains in a graded manner. Full restoration of regular services of passenger trains, to pre Covid times, is to be considered keeping in view a range of factors and operational circumstances. During challenging times of Covid, Indian Railways has operationalized almost 65 % of the Mail/Express trains and over 90 % of suburban services as compared to the pre-lock downtimes. Total 1250 Mail/Express, 5350 suburban services & more than 326 passenger trains are presently in operation average on a daily basis. Short distance passenger trains running presently constitute less than 3% of total trains. More such trains are in the pipeline in consultation with the State Governments. Such short distance trains require interstate discussions and concurrence of all concerned. Keeping in view the prevailing COVID situation, after the introduction of Mail/Express trains, Railways is gradually operationalizing passenger trains taking all necessary precautions, and making additional efforts. The Health situation of States, and the views of the State Governments, etc need to be taken into account before getting into normal operations. It may be noted that Passenger operations have always been subsidized by railways. Normally, Railways bear a loss on every journey by a passenger. Railways have been running trains in Covid times in the most challenging circumstances. Many trains are being run in spite of low occupancy for the benefit of people. Not only this, Railways has taken special care about those traveling by lowest fare in trains so that even in Covid times they bear the least burden. In all the trains that are being run, besides other classes, the trains have a large number of 2S class coaches which have the lowest fare in the reserved category.40 % of the passengers have traveled in 2S class in much better traveling conditions than pre-Covid, unreserved traveling situations. With a view to regulate rush at stations and in trains, passenger trains are being charged slightly more fare than pre-Covid times and a close watch is being kept on its patronisation. The situation is being constantly monitored to ensure restoration of services in keeping with the protocols necessary to be followed during Covid times. " These rates were implemented in five pairs of trains, including 54613 Amritsar-Pathankot and 54616 Pathankot-Amritsar, which started plying from Monday. A ticket from Amritsar to Pathankot now costs Rs 55 which was earlier priced at Rs 25. Similarly, a passenger DMU train ticket between the Jalandhar City railway station and Ferozpur costs Rs 60 now, while it used to cost Rs 30. The fare for short-distance travels is now similar to what passengers used to pay for the unreserved class in long-distance trains on the same route. An official said while for a short distance below 30-40 kms the fare may appear high, but as one book for a longer distance, it becomes much less. The passengers of the long-distance or mail and express trains that are being operated as special services are, however, paying 10 to 30 percent higher fares since the services began post lockdown. Nothing New in Train Passenger Fare ~ Railway Updates Indian Railway announced on 14.01.2021 that the reports in a section of media that Railways has been charging extra fares from passengers is misleading and not based on all the facts. Railway further announced that fare for Festival / Holiday special trains has been kept a little higher since 2015. NOTHING NEW is being done this year. In all the trains that are being run, besides other classes, the trains have a large number of 2S class coaches which has the lowest fare in the reserved category. As per the policy, 2S passengers, even in special fare case are NOT charged more than additional Rs 15 /-.

User Fee in train Fares for Redeveloped Stations with High Footfall Indian Railways on Thursday (17.09.2020) said it will soon start levying an additional ‘user fee’ along with train fares at some major stations with high footfall. Railway board CEO VK Yadav announced that the national transporter will start charging a user fee along with the train fares. Yadav said the additional fee will be used to redevelop railway stations and modernise infrastructure across the network in order to attract investments. “Where the footfall is increasing we will charge it (user fee) there. We need it to provide world-class infrastructure,” VK Yadav said. He said only 10-15 per cent of the total number of 7,000 stations will have this additional fee. This means around 700-1,000 railway stations will see a rise in fares. The amount that will be charged as user fee has not yet been decided. It may be noted that the user fee is similar to the user development fee (UDF) paid by air passengers. The UDF, however, varies from city to city. The Indian Railways may decide the user fee on the basis of footfall and whether there is a need to redevelop or expand a station. It has come to light that the railway ministry has so far earmarked around 50 stations for redevelopment. Yadav further added that the user fee will “not impact” the common man and the rise in fare will be nominal. He, however, added that the Indian Railways intends to gradually charge a small user fee at all stations. According to him, the additional user fee will help in offering better services to passengers. Yadav concluded by saying that the railways is planning to upgrade all major stations in the country. Government to allow Private Railways to set their own Fares India will allow private companies to set passenger fares once they start operating train services. Private players have been given the freedom to fix fares in their own way, "VK Yadav, chairman of India's Railway Board, told reporters on Thursday. But “air-conditioned buses and planes also operate on those routes, and they have to keep that in mind before setting fares. Back To Top ^ PLATFORM TICKET FARE Platform Ticket Fare reduced across all Stations of Secunderabad Division of SCR ~ 26.07.2021 Platform-Ticket-Fare-ReducedDownload Platform Ticket Price Increased ~ Platform Tickets to be issued at Six Railway Stations in Chennai Division ~ 17.03.2021 Southern Railway announced that the Chennai Division of Southern Railway has permitted the issue of platform tickets at select major stations. Earlier the issue of platform tickets was suspended from 23.03.2020 onwards, due to CoVID - 19 pandemic threat. Chennai Division has now resumed the issue of platform tickets from today, 17.03.2021 only at 6 major stations in Chennai Division, namely Dr M.G.R Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Tambaram, Chengalpattu, Arakkonam and Katpadi stations. The cost of a platform ticket will be Rs.50/- per passenger. The enhanced rate of platform ticket i.e Rs.50/- is a temporary measure undertaken by a railway administration to prevent the spread of Coronavirus and to avoid overcrowding at railway stations. The move will benefit sick, differently-abled, and aged passengers who need help in boarding and deboarding. The enhanced price of platform ticket will be in force from 17.03.2021 to 15.06.2021 only. Increase In Platform Ticket Prices And It's Reason ~ 05.03.2021 Indian Railway announced (05.03.2021) that the hike in the price of platform ticket is a TEMPORARY measure and is a field activity undertaken by a railway administration in the interest of the safety of passengers and to prevent overcrowding at stations. Deterring more persons to visit the station, the platform ticket charges are increased from time to time after assessing the ground situation. This is in practice for many years and is used occasionally as a SHORT TERM crowd control measure. There is NOTHING new about it. Considering the upsurge of COVID in few states, the Indian Railway is discouraging people from unnecessary crowding at the platforms Rush at the platforms during pandemic situations also needs to be regulated. The exercise is in the Public interest only. This is being done at a Limited number of stations that see the heavy rush. ( For example, it's being in only 7 stations in Mumbai division out of a total of 78 stations.) In March 2020, many divisions in Railways enhanced the platform ticket price at various stations to avoid crowding. Later, this was revoked over a period of time for example Central Zone , ECR to name a few. During festivals like Chathh, Diwali or Melas etc as well in different zones it is often temporarily increased and later on rolled back. Regulation and controlling of the crowd at stations is the responsibility of DRMs. Powers are delegated to DRMs since 2015 to raise platform tickets to regulate rush at platforms during specific requirements like mela, rally, etc. The power to change charges of platform tickets has been delegated to DRM s due to field management requirements. Revision-of-Platform-Ticket-RatesDownload Ticket Fare for Platform Ticket Purchase During March 2015 Railway Board had increased Platform Tickets from Rs. 5 to Rs.10 and delegated the powers to divisions to increase the Platform ticket beyond Rupees 10 in order to regulate rush at platforms during any specific requirements.
