Stop Railway's Dynamic Charges

The Issue

IRCTC is charging dynamic fare and this is not good for us, some times the trains are empty and IRCTC is charging us dynamic fares. I don't know what is the logic behind it. The ticket has become so expensive that it burns a hole in the pocket.

The government has decided to introduce a dynamic pricing system on Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains under which base fares will jump by 10% for every 10% of seats booked on these trains, with a cap of 50% hike in the original fare.

For Example, The first 10% of the passengers who want to travel from New Delhi to Bhopal on the Shatabdi Express will be required to pay a base price of Rs 839. After the sale of the first 10% tickets, the fares would increase to Rs 982 and would further go up to Rs 1258 after the sale of 50% of the tickets. Therefore, passengers travelling the same distances in the same class will end up paying differential fares.

I could understand if they will charge us dynamic fares after 80% or 90% of booking. don't you think this will be better option than charging after 10% of booking?
