In the month of July, Rail Minister Piyush Goyal while replying to a question in parliament had said that flexi fare has generated an additional revenue of about 2,400 crores for indian railways since its implementation. It seems that the editor still has a perception that trains having passengers sitting in toilets and in luggage compartments like cattles r the only profit making ones which is totally incorrect.
Still railway should rationalize this flexi fare scheme more so that in lean seasons discounted fare could be offered to increase the occupancy.
