After a span of five years, the Indian Railwayshave increased passenger fares by 1 to 4 paisa across various classes, excluding suburban and season tickets, with effect from January 1, 2020. The ‘marginal’ hike is expected to bring in another Rs 2,300 crore to the revenue of the cash-strapped national transporter.
For ordinary non-air conditioned (AC) classes, the fare increase will be 1 paisa per kilometre and in mail/express non-AC class, the hike will be 2 paisa per kilometre. On the other hand, for AC classes the fare hike will be 4 paisa per kilometre.
The hike will be applicable for only 34 per cent of the travelers on Indian tracks, while looking into the affordability concerns of daily commuters, the Railways restrained from hike for passengers over suburban sections and season ticket holders, which constitute 66 per cent of its total passengers.
This will be only a minor relief for the railways, that was staring at an operating ratio of 121 per cent for the first six months of the financial year, against 113 per cent during the same time in 2018-19. Operating ratio is the amount the Railways is spending to earn each rupee and hence lower the operating ratio, better the financial health of the national transporter is expected to be. For the current financial year, operating ratio was targeted at 95 per cent, as against 97.29 per cent achieved in 2018-19.
The last hike was in 2014, soon after the NDA government came to power, when the ministry was headed by Sadananda Gowda increased the passenger fares by 14.2 per cent in all classes. The current hike is coming at a time when the national transporter was bearing 73 paise in cost for every 10 kilo metre travel, while was charging only 36 paise to passengers.
“The additional revenue will be used to augment passenger experience through modernization of coaches and improved station infrastructure,” said a senior Railways official. Investments to the tune of Rs 13.7 trillion is expected to improve the IR by FY 25, while a total of Rs 50 trillion may be infused to improve its infrastructure by 2030. In a notification, the Railways said the increase in fare will be on tickets bought on or after January 1, 2020 and no excess fare will be charged from passengers who have booked tickets before the date.
Even after the 2014 hikes, the Railways came with rationalization of rates across segments, that included schemes like flexi fare, similar to the aviation industry and cab-based applications. The flexi fare scheme, that is applicable in premium trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto Express trains was expected to add over Rs 500 crore to the revenue of the national transporter. Till April to December 2020, passenger earnings in reserved segment saw a rise of 6.21 per cent to Rs 27,469 crore compared to last year, while the number of passengers too saw a 5.07 per cent increase.
Tuesday's notification added that a similar hike will be applicable in trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Vande Bharat, Tejas, Humsafar, Mahamana, Gatimaan and other special trains. Last week, the Railway Board chairman V K Yadav had said that rationalization of passenger fares is being planned by the railways.

Tumblr media
Fact 4: There’re 11 Types of Horns blown by trains and each horn has a code related to the services of railways. Let us discuss in detail.
One short horn: One small horn means the motorman would take the train in the yard where it would be washed and cleaned for its next trip.  
Two short horns: When the motorman gives two smaller horns, he is signalling the guard to ask railway signal for starting the train
Three smaller horns: Motormen rarely press the horns thrice because if they do, it means they have lost control over the motor and that the guard has to immediately pull the vacuum break.
Four smaller horns: The four smaller horns denote that there is a ‘technical’ issue with the train and that the train would not go ahead
One long horn and a shorter one: This horn means that the motorman is signalling the guard to set the brake pipe system before they start the engine.
Two long horns and two short horns: he motorman is signalling the guard to take control of the engine.
A continuous horn: A continuous horn is blown for alerting the passengers that the train is passing non-stop through many stations.
Two long and short horns: If the motorman blows these horns, it means the train is changing the tracks.
Two horns with two pauses: This signal is to alert the passersby that the train would be running through a railway crossing.
Six times, short horns: It’s a trouble signal where the train is stuck in a dangerous situation
Two short and one long horn: This sound means that a passenger has pulled a chain or the guard has pulled a vacuum break.
Tumblr media

via Today Bharat Maharashtra agrees to 50 flights and Telangana 30 after much haggling between Centre and states An Indigo aircraft takes off from the Anna International Airport in Chennai after the government eased the lockdown imposed as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 coronavirus. Domestic air travel resumed in India on May 25 after a two-month shutdown. New Delhi: After day-long negotiations on Sunday between several states and the central government, domestic flights resumed in India on Monday. After opposing resumption of flights amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Maharashtra state government late last night agreed to go along with the flight resumption, but only to a limited extent. All scheduled commercial passenger flights had been suspended since March 25 when the government imposed a nationwide lockdown to curb the coronavirus pandemic. Hundreds of people reached the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi to take early morning flights to their home towns and workplaces. Those who took the first flights included paramilitary personnel, army men, students and migrants, who had been unable to book a ticket on the special trains being run by the Indian Railways. Many said they shelled out more to reach the airport as there were limited public transport options available. With trains running full and inter-state buses off the roads, Sandeep Singh, 19, spent Rs 5,500 to reach Delhi from Dehradun where he studies. "I remained stuck in my PG. Mummy and papa were a worried lot. I am taking the first flight home," he said. A few people travelled long distances only to find that their flights had been cancelled. Naik Satish Kumar's Kolkata-bound flight got cancelled as the state decided not to resume operations till May 28. It was agreed late Sunday night that would be limited operation of commercial domestic flights starting Monday to and from metro airports like Mumbai and Hyderabad. Maharashtra agreed to only 25 departures and arrivals each from Mumbai from Monday, which means a total of 50 flights. The Delhi-Mumbai route is the busiest in India. There are expected to be only 15 departures and arrivals each from Hyderabad, a total of 30 flights. Also, there may be only about 10 flights to and from Kolkata (20 flights in all) as well as from Bagdogra airport in north Bengal from May 28 onwards. Just one-fifth of the summer schedule of flights are likely to operate to and from Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh from Tuesday (May 26), while only one-third of flights are expected to operate to parts of Maharashtra other than Mumbai. There was much confusion due to varying arrival protocols in states that include institutional quarantine in some. Due to this airlines revised their earlier schedules on Sunday evening to destinations like Mumbai after consulting the civil aviation ministry. As a result, chaos and uncertainty prevailed throughout Sunday for both airlines and thousands of hapless passengers due to fly on Monday. With various states having specific arrival protocols, the passengers would also be advised to check these in advance before travel. The Union health ministry on Sunday issued domestic travel guidelines for travel by air, train and inter-state buses, saying only asymptomatic people will be allowed to travel after thermal screening at departure points. On arrival, they will once again be thermally screened. Those found asymptomatic can go with the advice to “self-monitor their health for 14 days”. If they develop symptoms, they should inform the district authorities. Those who have mild symptoms will have the option of home quarantine or isolation at a Covid care unit, while those with moderate or severe symptoms will be sent to a Covid care centre. Passengers were also “advised” to download the Arogya Setu app on their mobiles. With passengers arriving from abroad by repatriation flights under the Vande Bharat Mission, guidelines were also issued on Sunday for international arrivals, under which travellers must give an undertaking in advance that they will undergo 14 days of mandatory quarantine. In case of emergencies, including distress, pregnancy or illness, home quarantine may be permitted. The uncertainty for travellers flying to Mumbai rose after Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray told civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri that for now only the minimum possible domestic flights should be started, but the state government later relented to allow only 25 departures/arrivals each starting Monday. Late Sunday night, Mr Puri tweeted it had been “a long day of hard negotiations with various state governments”, adding that domestic flights will begin on Monday, including limited flights to Mumbai, except for Andhra Pradesh where it will be from Tuesday and and West Bengal on Thursday. In Tamil Nadu, he added, there will be a maximum of 25 arrivals in Chennai, but there was no limit on the number of departures. Late on Sunday night, Minister of State for Civil Aviation (Independent Charge) Hardeep Singh Puri tweeted that it had been "a long day of hard negotiations with various state governments", adding that domestic flights will begin again throughout the country on Monday including limited flights to Mumbai except for Andhra Pradesh where it will be from Tuesday and and West Bengal on Thursday. He added that for Tamil Nadu there will be a maximum of 25 arrivals in Chennai but that there is no limit on number of departures, adding that for other airports in Tamil Nadu, flights would operate as in other parts of country. Puri tweeted, "It has been a long day of hard negotiations with various state governments to recommence civil aviation operations in the country. Except Andhra Pradesh which will start on 26/5 West Bengal on 28/5, domestic flights will recommence across the country from tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, there will be limited flights from Mumbai as per approved ⅓ schedule from other airports in the state. Limited operations to West Bengal will commence on 28th May 2020. As per request of state government, operations in Andhra Pradesh will recommence on limited scale from 26 May. For Tamil Nadu there will be max 25 arrivals in Chennai but there's no limit on number of departures.For other airports in TN flights will operate as in other parts of country." ...
