No.sir you are mixing up increase in fares with taxes and corruption.
This is India and NOT Pakistan.Let the generals take over Lutyens Delhi.
Sir, keeping it just confined to the railways, the services are not good because there is not enough money. There are accidents because there is no money to spend on advanced signalling system. Reason, the railways always runs on losses. Laloo lied big time about the massive profits that he showed while he was the Railway min. But there were also some things that he did right as the Rail min.No.
As a citizen I can understand a rise of fares.
But when it does not mean improvement in service because of corruption, inefficiency or total disdain for the public at large, is when I feel my taxes are being cast before swines!
You must be in the Rs one lakh bracket.This is the classic discussion about LPG vs. pre-LPG, no matter what one calls it. Anyway, I'm off to bed now - but ponder upon the fact that we have had enough of the same old "we need to monitor", "we need to do things better, we can do it" stuff. Enough waiting, the system does not work. The experiences of the last 20 years should have taught Indians this by now, I am surprised that some people still advocate more of the same old... Very sad indeed.
I totally agree with you.Sir, keeping it just confined to the railways, the services are not good because there is not enough money. There are accidents because there is no money to spend on advanced signalling system. Reason, the railways always runs on losses. Laloo lied big time about the massive profits that he showed while he was the Railway min. But there were also some things that he did right as the Rail min.
Tell that too the Govt adovcates Bangalorean and Yusuf, who I have tried to inform without being able to be as candid and clear as you.Everybody is missing the point. The Finance minister has introduced Service Tax in the Railways, this had been opposed by many.
This is not a fare hike by the IR. This is a cess being mopped by the Finance Ministry to meet the Fiscal Targets. Not a single penny of this will go to the IR, I repeat not a single penny will go to IR.
NO contest.train charges should be increased, not only AC class but all.Indian railways can no longer afford the charity. Even mamata's rail minister said this.
what purpose does it serve if this money is only used for popularity freebees ? I mean govt is making a large number of people angry with this charge hike.NO contest.
But it should be cess that is of no use to the railway users but to salvage the Govt over other harebrained populist scheme riddled like sieves to pocket the linings of the politicians and their surrogates!
No contest. I agree with you.But for that we can't say no to reasonable decisions.
I will admit, I did not realize this until after I read your post. I thought that this was, as the title suggested, an "increase [of] AC rail fares," not an additional tax. I suspect the same about Yusuf and Bangalorean.Everybody is missing the point. The Finance minister has introduced Service Tax in the Railways, this had been opposed by many.

I believe that.This is not a fare hike by the IR. This is a cess being mopped by the Finance Ministry to meet the Fiscal Targets. Not a single penny of this will go to the IR, I repeat not a single penny will go to IR.
