PUNE Even though the railway division has begun regular train operations, season pass holders are not yet allowed to use their passes. Now, these regular passengers have demanded that the railway division extend their season pass, which was lying unused due to the pandemic.
Most of these regular passengers commute by local trains, DEMU trains and intercity trains especially Pune to Mumbai.
Harshad Jangam, a passenger said, “I had taken a pass that was valid for six months just before the lockdown. I had used it for one month only. Due to the pandemic, train operations were shut and the pass hasn’t been used for two years. Now, my office has resumes and I travel daily from Chinchwad to Pune railway station, but the pending five months from my season pass is not valid. The railway division must either extend the validity or return or money.”
