Today i m going to bust some myths that indian railways is heavily subsidized and all that..I am going to compare the fare of indian semi bullet train Gatimaan with Semi bullet (D class max speed 250 kmph) plying between shanghai and Hangzhou..
The distance between shangai and Hangzhou is almost 160 km and fare varies from 8-9 USD if converted in rupees then it will cost something around 560-630 ₹ while nzm and agc are almost 190 KM apart and mps of gatimaan is just 160 even though its fare varies between 800-1500...so in that case how can we say that indian railways is heavily subsided ?
