Ministry of Railways has removed the flexi-fare scheme from the premium Humsafar trains and also decided to introduce Sleeper Class coaches in it. This will be a big relief to the Railway passengers who can now enjoy the modern facilities of Humsafar trains at lower rates.
Key decisions made:
Firstly, the existing variable fare system of the Humsafar class of trains has been done away with which means these trains will now have only ‘fixed’ fare system.
Secondly, the base fare of Humsafar trains will be 1.15 times of the base fare of Mail/Express Trains and not “Superfast” Mail/Express Trains which will lead to reduction in the base fare.
Thirdly, the Tatkal charges in Humsafar have also been reduced from existing 1.5 times of Humsafar base fare to approximately 1.3 times of Humsafar base fare.
Fourthly, Sleeper class coaches will also be attached in addition to existing only 3AC class coaches as per the requirement and as per the decision of the Zonal Railways.
