Only 8% occupancy, AC DD express which is meant to carry much larger number of paxs than the normal trains is carrying just 50 passengers which can be accommodated in a big bus! It is funny to expect patronage for train which was stopped due to poor patronage at normal fares, to attract passengers at special/ higher fares. Does IR want to help itself out of mess or indirectly helping its competitors?
Friends, IR seems to be badly infected with a new virus called "special fare virus" and almost every new train is attacked by this virus including this AC DD special. As a result this train shall hardly recover a fraction of operational cost leave aside the profits. IR could have...
more... lost lesser had it arranged a special ac bus at its own cost and sent those 50 passengers free of cost!!
Is there any any one who can treat this infection ?
