please wait...Translate to EnglishThis is some crazy stuff, man. I don't know if the Indian Railways is tryna play us or if they're just stupid. My homie needed to get from Trivandrum to Chennai and he tried to book a fancy TATKA;/PREMIUM TATKAL ticket. The price for AC 2 tier on Ananthapuri Premium Tatkal was Rs.4505/-, but the same thing on 22206 TVC-MAS AC Super fast Tatkal was only Rs. 3315/-. And get this - on Indigo airlines, the same trip in economy class at 6:30PM was Rs. 4526/-! Like seriously, the train takes over 15 hours while the flight takes only 1.30 hours.
