Conspiracy theory: Railway Board has taken upon itself to destroy IR.
Flexi fare is a scheme meant to destroy railways and let the aviation sector win more easily. The premium trains are the sector which are competing with airways and a price rise there will mean a win for aviation. Shatabdi are day class trains and seats fill at the last time, by rising fares, they literally made them empty. Durontos are a failed concept on many routes and couldn't take the price hike.Even Mumbai Raj couldn't fill all seats on few days.

Hota kya hai na decision already liya ja chuka tha, aur us time sarkar par u-turns lene ki tohmat lag rahi thhi. Agar ye faisla roll back hota ( jo ki janhit mein hota) to jo opposition parties flexi fare ka virodh kar rahi hain, wo hi dobara bolte ki govt mein sirf PM ki chalti hai, mantri ko free hand nahi milta wagairah, wagairah. Shayad isi se bachne ke liye aisa kiya gaya ho. Ya koi aur kaaran bhi raha ho. Lekin jo bhi ho ab trial period / experiment khatam karne ka decision le lena chahiye. Aur agar revenue badhana hai to ya to kuch innovative ideas laaye jo janhit mein ho nahi to direct sabhi segment mein including suburban mein kuch badhotari kar dein. Aise faaltu schemes se bachna chahiye.
Acc to news sources unke (pm, manoj sinha, amit shah) virodh ke baad hi kaha gaya ki experimental basis par hai. Ab to prabhu hi decide karenge ki ye experiment kab tak chalega. Asha hai diwali ke avsar par prabhu ko prabhu ne sadbuddhi di hogi aur apna current avtaar chhod ke phir se wo apne kursi sambhalne ke baad waale avtaar mein aayenge .
This whole idea of flexi fare is not going to work if they railways want to cover up the losses. Remember, its not feasible to increase profits in the short run. The model of Indian railways needs to be scaled down. Rather than working as a humongous and uncontrollable organisation, its better to break it up into different zones and made to function as a PSU, with both the govt as well as the public having equal stake.
For IR to come out of RED, it has to reduce costs, not increase revenue since operational expenses will proportionately rise with more operations.

Wow this thing has picked up. Just to be clear i do not necessarily think that our Railways is doomed and that a conspiracy is happening. It is just a forum to vent my anger over the rash decisions. I still hope that the RM understands the situation, rolls back the flexi fare and implement a bettee dynamic fare system.
super agree also a ca can not understand indian railway.i think modi ko hi rail ministry apne hath me leni chahiye wo khud zyada accha karege suresh prabhu se to
