If you travel mostly in the train, then this news can be of your use. Well, do you know how the fare of the train you are traveling is calculated? The fare you are seeing in the website or app has been calculated on the basis of it, or it has been written only as an estimate. If you have the same question in your mind, then let us tell you the reason for this.
Train is the only means of travel that connects the country from one corner to another. Its journey is much cheaper than other means. Let us know how…
There are various charges attached to your train fare. This charge depends on the type of your train. As there are separate charges for Shatabdi trains, there are separate charges for Rajdhani, Express and other trains. Now these include distance charge, reservation charge, GST and many other things. Based on this, your train fare is decided.
This is how your fare is calculated
Kilometer is the biggest factor in the calculation of your train fare. That is, the distance you have to travel is the biggest factor. The distance for train fare is divided into several categories. Like 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25 and so on are the categories of 4951-5000 kms. Your fare will be decided according to the distance you travel.
The complete break up of train fare is on the website of Indian Railways. If you want, you can see the break up of your fare from there. For this, after visiting the website of Indian Railways, you have to go to the Railway Board section and there you will get information about the fare in the coaching section.
Train travel is much cheaper than bus, taxi
If train fare is compared with bus, taxi or other public vehicle, then traveling by train becomes much cheaper. In this you do not have to spend toll, petrol or other money. Suppose you are coming from Lucknow to Delhi by cab, then you will have to spend at least 8 thousand rupees. Wherein you will reach Delhi by train in just 1000 or 1200 rupees in 6 hours.
