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.

profit from SL or UR class. But at least the ticket pricing needs to reflect the increasing operating costs so that the profit making portions like AC class travel and freight transport can still cover up the deficit.
