This list is trending in whatsapp from last few days and people have started comparing zones and telling like this and that zone don't earn much, etc etc
.
But i felt comparison just based on this list is not justified as some zone like NR, WR, SCR have MORE THAN 6000km route whereas some zones like SECR, ER have LESS THAN 2500km route under them.
So
...
more...
i though of dividing the earning of these zones by their total route area to find the ratio between Earning and route km, in other words, earning per km of route.
The list of earning per KM of each zone goes on like this -
.
1. ECoR - 6.67
2. SECR - 5.77
3. SER - 5.76
4. NCR - 4.98
5. WCR - 4.32
6. CR - 3.94
7. ECR - 3.54
8. ER - 3.06
9. SCR - 2.89
10. NR - 2.36
11. WR - 2.27
12. SR - 1.67
13. SWR - 1.56
14. NWR - 1.44
15. NFR - 1.37
16. NER - 0.94
.
17. Kolkata Metro - 8.61 (not included in main list as it has only 27.22km under it)
.
One thing can be understood from this list that high earning of some zones like SCR, NR is related to the large route km under them whreas low earning of some zones like ER is because of low route km under them. However, some zones like NER, NFR, SWR, NWR, SR etc has low earning inspite of high route km under them
.
I would like to know the opinion/ conclusion of other members from this list and if they think this comparsion based on earning : route is correct or not

All these also hardly matters. kolkata metro 224 rs kharcha karke ek rupya kama raha hai par kisi ko kuch fark pad raha hai kya ,.. logo ko subsidized service to as usual mil hi raha jo remote areas ko naseeb nahi hai..delhi waale wahi metro facility 10 times mahenge rate me avail kar raha hai kyuki wo incorporated hai..
abaadi badhao ..lok sabha seats badhao...govt sab facility free fund me laa ke dega..aur kuch nahi to pm ko apne city se election ladne ko bolo..ye sab earning warning ka chakkar bakwaas hai

Phokat k maal ki quality bhi phokat k jaise hi hoti hai. Compare the quality of service of Delhi metro and Kolkata metro, u would get ur reply. BTW it was Mamta Didi's idea to bring Kolkata metro under Indian railways to appease her vote bank.

Yes u r correct...by gross earnings data a zone cannot be judged....
A zone should be judged by Net earnings or by its Operating ratio.....Higher the Operating Ratio the bad is the zone performance in profit....Less Operating ratio is the best performing zone and Profit making zone......If we look at operating ratio then as i was telling earlier also if we look at net income of a zone then Best performers are ECOR, SECR, SER, SCR, ECR then comes others ....in that case NER, NR, ER, SR, KMR all in downwards direction loss making zones of IR

Well, This all goes away after South Coastal Zone. ECoR being the best will become an obsolete discussion. Just my opinion.

So all zone with large suburban system (EMUs) are loss making. Even high freight revenue earning zones like NR and CR also have high OR.
Definately, a point to be looked upon by IR. Railways should now think of increasing the suburban fare and MST now

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
