Indian Railways has announced a significant reduction in passenger train ticket prices, reverting them to pre-COVID levels. Effective February 27, the railways reinstated Second Class Ordinary Fares on ‘Passenger Trains,’ now designated as ‘Express Specials’ or ‘MEMU/DEMU Express’ Trains.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Indian Railways had discontinued Passenger Trains and increased the minimum ticket price from Rs 10 to Rs 30, aligning it with Express Train fares. This move was aimed at discouraging overcrowding in Passenger Trains during the times of COVID-19.
