i think nothing wrong in that. you (read public) wont let the railways increase the fare. still takes people around India is less than Rs 1 / km in AC class. i dont know how? even the super-crowded (carrying 5x the capacity) BEST buses (ordinary lal dabbas) charge Rs 18 for 10 kms. But BEST can charge such fares, coz ordinary people dont travel in such buses, its the affluent who uses such buses. bloody hypocrites.
