Railways to make changes in flexi-fare system

The Indian Railways has said that it is mulling to reserve about 50 % berths in premier trains including Rajdhani for normal fare by making changes in the prevailing flexi-fare system. As per reports, currently flexi-fare system is applicable in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains since September 9 last year which allows only 10% of the seats to be sold in the normal fare and thereafter it will go on increasing by 10 % with every 10 % of berths sold with a ceiling of 50 %.

 Commenting on the issue, a senior Railway Ministry official told the media, “The initial review has indicated that revenue has increased at the cost of loss of occupancy in some of the trains and Railway Minister wanted to rectify it.” As per reports, Railways has earned about Rs 260 crore from flexi-fare system till date and aimed to touch Rs 500 cr in a year.
