If raise railway fares that diffclut to surevy middle man

There is fundamental issue when a panel is set up to recommend railway fares. There should be a transparent mechanism to determine fares and just like petrol prices, should be updated frequently (at least quarterly if not monthly). It then does not come as surprise. Also a sharp revision causes sharp reaction (like Diesel prices raise). This can be avoided.

Prices can be increased because passenger traffic is increasing and so also the fuel/energy prices. By not increasing the price, railways will only deteriorate further from where its services stand today. Moreover, there will be no surplus to finance railway infra upgrades which compromises on safety and timely availability.
In fact, on highly crowded routes, railway should also consider peak pricing to level out the traffic. Shorter routes should also be priced a bit higher than long hauls. Premium prices on first class esp for superfast trains also needs to be considered during peak seasons.

Airline fares are up, how can railway survive without increase in fares, since fuel rates have increased. Railways should focus on good services to passenger for paying higher fare

govt should increase it should not giv subsidy all class can afford

since 2000 the railway fare didn`t increase. It is great loss to railways and hamper to growth of railways. Railway employees salaries and operation expenditure became double and trible.

What have the earlier hikes been for. The people who manage railway finances are obviously not doing their job properly. And the worst are the ministers who do not even think twice before introducing new trains to their own constituencies even if the new trains are running in loss. What is required is professionalisation of management.

Those who have not seen a railway station can not but be expected to make such recommendations. Deepak Parekh has inherited wealth from his uncle HT Parekh and so he believes that everybody has inherited wealth and can therefore afford every hike.

Ti is need to develope the railway without money how we can improve the candition of railway

THE RAILWAY FARE SHOULD BE LINKED TO THE INFLATION. THE FREIGHT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY INCREASE EVERY YEAR BASED ON THE INFALTION INDEX. IF IT IS DECIDED THAN FIGHT FOR FARE INCREAMENT WILL STOP FOR EVER.
