Indian Railways: Train tickets are now available for Rs 10,000, flights are getting cheaper, check details before travelling

The cost of a Tatkal ticket on the Howrah Express running between Bangalore and Kolkata has skyrocketed to over Rs 10,000, exceeding even flight ticket prices. This surge is due to Indian Railways' dynamic pricing system, which adjusts ticket prices based on demand. The system has been criticized for its potential...

to drastically inflate prices, as seen with the Howrah Express ticket, which normally costs Rs 2,900. Some argue that it's cheaper to travel without a ticket and pay the fine than to purchase a ticket under the Premium Tatkal system, while others point out that flight tickets are more affordable, especially considering the significant time difference between train and air travel.

Bangalore aur Kolkata ke beech chalne wala Howrah Express ka Tatkal ticket ka price Rs 10,000 se bhi zyada ho gaya hai, yeh toh flight tickets se bhi zyada hai! Indian Railways ne kuchh saal pehle Dynamic Pricing System lagaya tha, jismein ticket ki price demand ke hisaab se badhti...

rehti hai. Par shayad kisi ne socha nahi hoga ki yeh price 4 times tak badh jaayega. Aam tor pe SMVB Howrah Express ka ticket Rs 2,900 ka hota hai, par Premium Tatkal System ke neeche yeh ticket Rs 10,100 mein mil raha tha. Ek Reddit user ne iska screenshot share kiya hai. Logon ne social media pe dynamic pricing system ki bahut criticism ki hai.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
