Railway has good budget and money but still general public not able to get ticket at the time of requirement.

Friends I aspect a lot from this budget. However before going deep into those points, railways should change the quality of food provided to the passangers in the trains. Secondly, railway accidents should be checked which was frequent previous year.

Fare increased in all class but very minimum .After all this is a good budget.

Railway has good budget and money but still general public not able to get ticket at the time of requirement.

Ever increasing population is the cause of rush at ticket window, reservation counter. Number of passengers increases constantly and any increase in Railway tracks, number of trains and bogies does not help. This is true everywhere- roads, schools, hospitals etc.

Fare increased.....
Many trains are announced at every railway budget. How much time will it take to implement new trains?

Every railway minister implements the announcements mostly in his/her own areas, rest go to bite the dust.

At a glance:
Trivedi announced that passenger fare for sub-urban trains hiked by 2 paisa per km, mail trains by 3 paisa per km. Express train fares are up by 5 paisa per km, 10p per km for a/c chaircar, 10p per km for a/c 3-tier, 15 p per km for a/c 2-tier and 30p per km for a/c 1st class.
