Airfares ‘cheaper’ than AC1 and AC2 train fares: Rlys
New Delhi:05.08.2019
Contending that airfares to Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata from their centres are ‘cheaper’ than AC1 and AC2 train fares, the Hubli, Karnataka headquartered South Western Railway has approved its officials’ request to fly to these destinations instead.
The general manager, South Western Railway has approved the proposal which states that it would “increase productivity”
as the travel time between any location in the railway zone to these tier 1cities is “more than 12 hours.”
“The one way travel time by train from any location in SWR to Delhi/Mumbai/Kolkata is more than 12 hours...it can be seen that flight fares of private airlines on mostly-travelled routes are cheaper than that of 1AC/2AC train fares,” the deputy general manager of the zone has proposed in a letter to the GM seeking his approval for airtravel for senior officials.
