Shatabdi Fares To Be Lowered, Finally!
After receiving flak over the dynamic pricing of Shatabdi trains and how it is ruining customer experience, Indian Railways has finally decided to lower fares.
As per incoming reports, fares on some low occupancy routes would be now lowered, and it is expected that once fares are lowered, ticket sale would increase.
In the past year, Indian Rail decided to lower fare on some routes, like New Delhi and Ajmer and Chennai-Mysore and witnessed an increase in ticket sales by 63%.
An official said,
“The move yielded positive results for us. What we did was we offered fares in these premium trains equivalent to bus fares plying on the particular stretch”
The direct impact on the reduced fares for Shatabdi Trains would be now analysed and used for determining fares on 100 new routes.
Do you think dynamic fares should be abolished altogether? Do let us know by commenting right here.

The dynamic fare stem is unfair. Why only 3A and 2A in this system ? If it is to be implemented, it should be across all classes and trains- else abolish this.
