Consumers have indicated that they will not keep quiet when injustice is meted out to them. Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat, Tamilnadu has voiced their concern. The details: Recently Southern Railway announced special trains including premium trains in an attempt to clear rush in trains during Diwali Season. However, the fares on the premium – special trains start with normal price and move upwards. The increase is higher on demand, which is similar to the ticketing model adopted by airlines and Omni Buses. Further, the reservation can be made only “On line” and not through Railway Reservation Counters. For example – On October 5, 2014 (Sunday) the fare of 3AC berth on the train of Chennai Egmore to Tirunelveli was Rs.3,652, three times the price of a tatkal ticket on the same route. The normal fare for a sleeper class ticket is Rs.485 and the price of the last few tickets had been upwards of Rs.1,500. Tickets for sleeper class for the Chennai-Central to Coimbatore premium train was priced at Rs.941, compared to a normal rate of Rs. 415. The ABGP appealed to the General Manager Southern Railways to price the tickets of the Premium trains with Normal price.
