Flexi fare system News
The Railways has earned an additional revenue of Rs 540 crore in less than a year through the flexi fare scheme and there is no plan to discontinue it, a senior ministry official said.
Railways has decided to withdraw flexi fare and give discounted fare in AC Chair Car in selected sectors of New Delhi-Ajmer Shatabdi Express and Chennai Central -Mysore Shatabdi Express.
In a bid to attract last minute passengers, the railways have revised the flexi fare structure in premier trains by offering 10 per cent rebate on vacant berths after finalisation of the reservation charts.
Amid criticism over introduction of dynamic surging fare in premier trains, the railways today claimed that the response is quite good and the flexi-fare is still lower than airfare.
Justifying the newly introduced flexi fare system, the Indian Railways claims that about Rs 500 crore revenue will be generated through this pricing model
Train tickets to be costlier by up to 50%, Indian Railways to introduce flexi fare system from today
The revised fares will not apply to tickets already issued in advance for journeys to commence on or after September 9.
