As Five states elections are over, I think this is the right time to take some pro-reformist bold steps and to increase the fare of heavily subsidized Unreserved, Sleeper and Sub-urban tickets for the betterment of Indian Railways in coming future. For your judgement some stats are also attached, so what do you think about this?
NO vote
Yes. Now fare of loss making classes should be increased.

True, they are not made for profits. But at the same time, the transport system should also ensure it's survival. Ticket pricing and other sources of revenue should be regulated such that the organization maintains a healthy financial state and has the funds to support expansion, better passenger facilities and should be able to sustain itself. After all, the railways is also an organization with limited funds. It can operate in losses to serve the passengers, but the losses should not be so high that a large part of the organization's revenues are just used up in covering the losses. They should not push the railways to the edge of bankruptcy.
