Question 1: Why did Indian Railways decide to hike ticket prices? answer: For many years, the Railways had not made any changes in ticket prices. This decision has been taken in view of the increasing expenses in front of the railway and the cost of maintenance. However, this increase is very modest, so that the common passengers do not fall too much burden.

That is, if you are traveling 500 km, you may have to pay 5 rupees more in non-AC and 10 rupees more in AC. On the journey of 1000 km, now you have to pay 20 rupees in AC and 10 rupees more in non AC.
Question 3: Will the fare of all trains increase? answer: No, this increase will not be applicable to all trains. There has been no increase for traveling up to 500 km in second class.

If there is more than 500 kilometers distance, you will have to pay half a kilometer more per kilometer.
