- 5 times increase in platform ticket prices at 3 stations in Mumbai

New delhi date. Friday, March 5, 2021

Platform ticketing services at major stations in the capital Delhi, which had been closed for a long time due to corona, have been resumed. The service has been implemented since midnight and the railways have also increased ticket prices 3 times. Earlier you had to pay Rs 10 to buy a platform ticket but now you have to pay Rs 30.

Many train services in the country have not yet been reactivated due to the Corona epidemic. Passengers traveling from one state to another have their relatives come to pick them up at the railway station and it is mandatory for them to buy railway platform tickets.

The platform ticketing facility was shut down a year ago as Corona's case was on the rise so that only those who have to travel can go to the station and not be overcrowded. However now the platform ticketing service has been resumed.

Here the price of platform tickets increased 5 times

Apart from Delhi, platform ticket prices have also been increased in Mumbai and the price has been increased five times. Central Railway has hiked platform ticket prices at some major stations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Platform tickets at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminals, Dadar and Lokmanya Tilak Terminals have been increased from Rs 10 to Rs 50.

Increase local fares

Along with the increase in platform ticket prices, the railways have also increased local fares. Railways have started service of express train instead of passenger train and its fare has been increased. Passengers will have to pay Rs 30 instead of Rs 10 for a local ride.

To go from Delhi to Ghaziabad you have to pay Rs 30 instead of Rs 10. The railways have facilitated the people by introducing one-way transport but at the same time increasing the burden on their pockets.
