Look at the FARE for FC for this train on IRCTC - Rs.1285/- for FC one way for a distance of 88 kms. This is unbelievable!! When the MTP-UAM train's fare for FC is just Rs.205/- for a distance of 46 kms and just Rs.30/- for 2S class. On what basis is the fare decided for Tr. No. 52541? This is beyond a common man's reach. Is or was there any official notification regarding the same earlier?

Taxi pe to kahi bhi chad sakte hai, Gareeb tourists toy train me kaise chadenge? Govt. Ko fare low rekhna chahiye taaki Gareeb or Saadharan tourists bhi is train me travel ker Indian Railways ki rich heritage ko deekh sake, wo heritage hi Kya jise kewal ammer mehsoos mer sake.

Maintain kaun karega us heritage ko? By that logic Air India should offer Mumbai Delhi flights for 100 rupees. Coz wo aeronautical advancement hi kya jise kewal ameer mehsoos kar sake.

Railway aam aadmi ki sawari hai flight nahi. BTW Air travel bhi kewal rich or privileged tak simit na reh jaye isliye Govt be UDAN scheme launch kiya hai or Railway Jo ki mango people ki sawari hai wo elitist ho gaya yahan.

"even 1200 per ticket isn't a profitable deal for them" - This is Surprising, but nonetheless, it could be True. But I guess a few months back, or at least a year back the FC charges were in hundreds like perhaps INR 400 -500. So, I was amazed by this STEEP hike in fares.

FC Fare is high here bcoz only rich people travel in it whereas in MTP-UAM passenger is cheap as Janta board it... see the UR coach of MTP-UAM passenger and you'll understand.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
