Achal 20 blog postsI kind of think surge pricing is the best thing happened. Its high time for us to realize trains cant compete to planes on long sectors. IR should actually enhance this idea and altogether change the rajdhani concept. Personally I believe rajdhani should be consisted only of 3A. Whereas shatabdi should be changed to use the 2S-CC combination of Jan shatabdi. Also rajdhani could be made to accommodate sl coaches made in 2a layout for that little extra comfort. This way the middle class get a decent overnight option for large distance journey. Whereas by scrapping of 2A and 1A loss can be reduced. 1A should be absolutely scrapped as its rarely completely filled. This way airline sector can be benefited and trains could accommodate more people with surge pricing. Comments appreciated.

Most of Raj-dur-shat are actually loss making. At the end IR is not here for seeing their trains full, its the profit thats making them worried. I would sure be unhappy of my venture would remain full but is loss making one. The problem with increasing suburban fare is the most ideal one but we know that is not gonna happen. A suburban fare hike by 10% will be like digging your own grave. Ruling party know that it will be a fatal recepie and hence no ruling party has ever shown interest in that venture.
