Platform Ticket Price Hiked

In another step, the Indian Railways has hiked the prices of platform tickets from Rs 10 to Rs 50 for 250 stations in the country to minimise the footfalls at the stations. A senior Railway Ministry official said that the zonal railways have decided to increase the prices of platform tickets.

"Platform ticket prices at 250 stations have been increased from Rs 10 to Rs 50 in several parts of the country," he said. The official further said that the Western Railways has increased the platfrom ticket fare to Rs 50 for railway stations of Mumbai, Vadodra, Ahmedabad, Ratlam, Rajkot and Bhavnagar.

"The increase in the platform ticket prices is a temporary measure to contain extra load of people in the railway premises", he said.
