On any route in IR if we compare AC Class fares (1A, 2A, 3A, EC, CC etc) with Non-AC Class fares (SL, 2S, GS etc), we will see that the difference is huge, average AC fare is 5-6 times higher than average Non-AC fare. If we take Premium trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto etc into consideration, this ratio then goes up to 7-8 times.
So what do you think, AC fares are overpriced or Non-AC fares are underpriced?

order to give a comparative idea, let me inform you that for almost all the cases of Bus fare the AC fare is only 2-3 times of Non-AC fare (Even including Premium buses like Volvo, Benz, Scania etc). Above calculation for train fare has been done on Kolkata-NJP route.

Now that's a rather modest difference. Imagine if we consider Viswabharati 😁

Also Non AC fares can be increased a bit I believe.

Yes... Absolutely... But one thing is sure... By looking this abysmal fare difference, I feel IR should try to increase fare in 2nd class travelling and sleepers as well in the next budget...
