leading unique train travel content creator, RailYatri.in says that passengers travelling in special trains during the festive season will end up spending lot more for their journeys in special trains. Though there are hundreds of special trains announced, to overcome the rush and meet the scarcity of tickets, only about 30 per cent of them are launched in the regular pricing category.
“Hundreds of special trains have been announced this year to meet the rush in certain busy routes. But the irony in these announcements is that only about 30 per cent of these trains will charge the normal fares. 35 per cent of the special trains belong to the dynamic pricing category and the rest 35 per cent are superfast trains,” says Co-founder and CEO of RailYatri.in. Manish Rathi.
