Get ready to pay Rs 5 for platform tickets
from next month.
Though railway minister Mukul Roy rolled back hike in passenger fares in most of the categories, it seems the increase in rate of platform tickets skipped his attention.
The railways on Wednesday issue a circular to implement the decision announced in railway budget by his predecessor Dinesh Trivedi by directing all general managers to ensure platform tickets are sold for Rs 5 from May 1.
Now, a platform ticket costs Rs 3. This move has inadvertently made journey tickets cheaper than platform tickets.
