What do you mean railways are MAKING the poor people pay more? Railways, run by the government is first of all not a privilege of the citizens but a service which needs to be paid for accordingly. India at the moment cannot afford to subsidise anything to this extent while being a developing country. The poor people have a choice, of travelling in various other means and the same poor people you are talking about(incl people staying in slums) have tata/videocon DTH's over their concrete houses or huts(please visit any slum in blr). When they can afford that, they can certainly afford to pay a little more to chip in to save our national transporter which is already bleeding from an unfair and rather a hypocritical expectation of lower fares and higher standards.

connect Chennai and as an alternative route to SBC-MAS) towards which nothing is being done by the MP's or public representatives except putting up hoardings during elections or flex/vinyl prints before railway budgets.

Development of facilitites and the funds for it dont magically come out of the zone(except if freight or connectivity potential) unless there is a representation from the local people and their elected representatives. For everything you keep saying add to TN/SR, what a logic!
