Re# 2210335-2              
When flexifare has failed in premium Raj/Shat/Duro trains, where is question of implementing in other trains.
The real issue is whether IR shall dilute or do away with flexi fare or shall it be continuing the existing flexifare and vacant flexifare seats.

Re# 2210335-4              
Reduction of Tatkal quota is again done by IR to extract even more from the targeted section of paxs!!!
-
Of the 20% seats released from tatkal quota and transferred to flexi quota
only 2% seats shall be at normal fare (NF),
next
...
more...
2% at 110% of NF,
next 2% at 120% of NF,
next 2 % at 130% of NF,
next 2% at 140% of NF, and
rest 10% at 150% of NF, so
the avg collection of these seats via flexi fare shall be 135% higher (for SL, ACII, ACC classec) and 130% for ACIII class
-
For example, in case of NZM-MAS Duronto for ACII/ACIII/SL classes,
3925/2835/1210 is the Normal fare in Rs and
4425/3255/1410 is the the Tatkal fare in Rs
5565/3740/1620 is the max. FlexiFarein Rs.
520/420/200 is extra fare paid for tatkal ticket
1640/905/410 is extra fare paid for Flexifare ticket by majority of paxs (top slab).
-
Above shows how draconian Flexifare is as compared to Tatkal, Hence tatkal seats reduced from 30% to just 10% and converted to flexi seats.
The tatkal surcharge collected as % of normal fare works out to be only 16.5/19.7/24.5, which is much less than the avg surcharge of 35%(for ACII,ACC,SL)/ 30%(for ACIII) for flexifare.
-
Other benefit to IR is flexifare can be collected 4 months in advance and Tatkal fare is collected just a day before journey, so interest on money is additional benefit to IR.
