SUVITHA Fares should be reduced from the last 40% from 3 times of tatkal fares to 2 times for 100% occupancy.Since all the AC PASSENGER FARES shall be reduced by 20% ,since these passengers are hiked by Surcharge.

Either IR should re do the price frame for Suvidha or better increase the tatkal quota seats so they will get good revenue
