CHENNAI: The recent decision by the railways to reduce the minimum fare of passenger trains from Rs 30 to Rs 10, following the trains’ downgrade from express special to ordinary second-class passenger, is said to have been implemented without an official order from the railway board or ministry of railways.
Members of Zonal Rail Users Consultative Committee (ZRUCC) and Divisional Rail Users Consultative Committee (DRUCC) have expressed concerns, saying the fare cut may be temporary and could be reversed after the Lok Sabha election.
