3 times the normal fare is only for the final 20%. The first 20-40% of people still have to pay only Tatkal fare. But I do feel that 3 times the normal fare is a but too much and the upper slab for Suvidha should be placed at 2 times the Tatkal fare. Given IR's finance woes, it is a bit unfair to expect them not to encash in situations where there is huge demand. But along with the higher fares, at least better facilities have to be guaranteed to the passengers.
