10,000 trains this summer, 60% higher than last year, to meet the increased demand. To manage the crowds, the Railways has deployed additional staff, implemented queue systems, and strengthened security measures. The surge in train travel is seen as a positive sign for the Indian economy, as it contributes to the growth of the services sector and GDP. Economists believe the spike in passenger numbers could be due in part to the recent increase in airfares.
