Train travel is about to cost a little more in the coming times. The passengers will be required to pay additional charge between 10 rupees and 35 rupees depending upon the class of travel.

These charges will be for boarding trains from the redeveloped stations or the station which are about to be developed soon. Similar charges would be levied at stations that have been redesigned or are new stations.

AC first class will attract the highest charge followed by AC second and so on. The people travelling in the general category will be charged the least.

It has been said that a decision in this direction was sent to the Cabinet by the Indian Railways. Indian Railways had earlier clarified that user fee would be levied only for the stations that will be redeveloped and those witnessing high footfalls.
