Rejection of conversion of all trains into dynamic fare ticketing
Rejection of conversion of all trains into dynamic fare ticketing
The Issue
I don't understand why people are still quiet after getting to know that they may end up paying almost 50-60% or more than that extra than the regular reserved ticket price. The dynamic fare ticket which will shortly be launched in all trains across Indian Railways have a lot of drawbacks.
1) To start with the number of wait list passengers. As we all are aware that during peak season WL goes beyond 500 and at times even this wait list passenger tickets gets confirmed or at least end up in RAC which isn't possible in dynamic fare ticketing as wait list tickets aren't allocated in turn there may be many vacant seats.
2) There won't be any extra coaches attached in any train.
3) No concessions at all.
4) No refund in case of cancellation.
5) If someone wants to book a ticket, once all tickets are booked one has to constantly keep on checking for any cancellations so that he/she can proceed with the booking.
6) Facilities provided in the name of premium train/ dynamic fare ticket is not up to the mark.
7) There are many countries who follow dynamic fare ticket pricing but their services are beyond expectations then why can't we get these facilities. For eg. I had paid INR7000 for one berth in 3ac in Mumbai-Varanasi Premium Special. Food as pathetic and low in quantity for a 24 hour journey. Coach wasn't clean. Bedrolls were dirty. Train was delayed by 2 hours. We don't expect this after parting such a hefty amount for a single ticket.
I highly protest this change. If you all too feel the same kindly sign this online petition and we can submit it to the higher authorities.
