Pune: Sudden rise in ticket price of passenger trains has left commuters unhappy as they end up paying fare of express trains.
The ticket fare has gone up by 50% while there is no upgradation in services
“We can understand if trains are providing improved facilities like lesser stops or high speed, but nothing has changed expect ticket price. Pune rail division should think about passengers as they are ending up spending more,” said Deepak Shetye who travels regularly between Pune and Solapur.
“We have increased the fare as orders came from higher authorities. No decision was taken by the Pune rail division. The order clearly mentioned that the fare of passenger trains should be the same as of express trains,” said an official from Pune Railway Division.
