NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked railways to publicise the 'real cost' and 'subsidy' of passenger fares to make travellers aware of the burden it is bearing for their travel, which can then be reduced through rationalisation in line with the 'GiveItUp' campaign for LPG.

The PM's directive at a meeting on road and rail sectors last month indicates a move to eventually ask travellers with paying capacity to bear the full burden of their ticket and keeping cheaper fares only for economically weaker sections.

The transport behemoth has been asked to prepare this mechanism plan within three months i.e by August. At present, railways loses around Rs 30,000 crore annually on passenger segment, which is cross-subsidised by freight earnings.

The PM has also asked road and rail ministries to create a framework to measure user's experience.

The ministry has been asked to set up an independent body to measure road quality and bring the entire NH network under road asset management system so that necessary repair work can be taken up on time.

Majority of the tasks identified by Modi have deadlines up to March 2019.

Considering congestion at check-posts, Modi wants states to computerise and integrate all such points besides using drones for monitoring efficiency.

Better services for which Suresh Prabhu is working relentlessly, I don't mind shelling out a couple of more bucks.

Funny thing about these subsidies is that, come tomorrow if Mukesh Ambani decides to travel by train he'll enjoy the same subsidy as a random migrant labourer from Bihar.
.
Modi promised to regulate subsidies and I am yet see anything concrete in Railways.

So u means every citizen if he expects better service need to give extra money. my family of just 2 members living in mumbai average monthly expense comes just imagine

I hope people will leave the subsidy like many did in their LPG connections. A few more bucks wont hurt your pocket but will do far more good the IR.
Their are some people who will see this as a unfair decision even if they have loads of money as they never learns and just want 'muft ka maal'.
Hopefully this means more cleaness in our trains and stations.

well work is still in progress and Namo took more decissions and working over time and showing results in just two years than 10 years of mis rule and corruption of congress led UPA

so dont worry NaMo knows what he is doing and has a very able and equally hardworking , non corrupt and smart cabinet of moinisters to support him its only the corrupt congress and its media & NGO stooges who are wailing as they lost all the free perks which they had started taken as there god given gift

Train fares are bound to increase once RS passes GST bill.
