The 50 per cent cut in the fares of air-conditioned local trains in Mumbai will be applicable from today.The Railways hope that this move will help increase the number of passengers on AC locals and in the first-class sections of non-AC trains too.
Single Journey fares for first class on non-AC local trains in suburban sections have also been rationalized. However, there will be no change in the season ticket basic fare for both, AC and first-class non-AC categories.All other existing terms and conditions applicable for AC ordinary services running over the suburban section shall remain the same.
