Well, they'll have to actualy do something now, otherwise it would be like commiting political suicide for no reason by hiking the ticket prices.
The increase in fares is quite nominal on Aam Admi and that too is happening after nine years. Don't understand the gripe of BJP and TMC about the fare hikes.Rail Budget: Increase in train fares after nine years

What a regressive leader Mamta has proven to be. God save this country.Sack Dinesh Trivedi as Railway Minister: Mamata Banerjee to Prime Minister
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to remove Dinesh Trivedi as the Railway Minister. She has also suggested the name of Mukul Roy to replace Dinesh Trivedi for the Cabinet rank.
Sources said a fax has been sent to the Prime minister by Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday evening.
Today? She showed her idiocy years ago with her Singur agitation. I cannot recall when was the last time she did anything intelligent.Mamata Banarjee has exhibited monumental idiocy today.
What a retard, she is weakening her WB govt every passing day by making it easy for opposition herself.
As opposition leader in 90s she had ensured that office goers in Calcutta enjoyed one day holiday every month.Our branch office was the butt of jokes courtesy Ms.Banerjee calling for a bandh at the drop of the hat.Today? She showed her idiocy years ago with her Singur agitation. I cannot recall when was the last time she did anything intelligent.
Why don't Mamata and her ilk understand that if the government hikes fares and starts installing bio-toilets, it will not only save in the maintenance costs due to less corrosion of the tracks, it will also make the tracks cleaner and also generate jobs, because these bio-toilets have to be manufactured somewhere.Rail Budget 2012-13: Green toilets to be installed in 2,500 coaches - The Economic Times
NEW DELHI: Corrosion from night soil being discharged from toilets on tracks costs Rs 350 crore annually; Dinesh Trivedi, Union Railway Minister said while presenting the Railway Budget in Lok Sabha. He said green toilets will be installed in 2,500 coaches in the next one year.
Trivedi said, "Standard of hygiene needs to be improved substantially; all out efforts will be made on this in the next six months."
He said the Railways was duty bound to provide high standard of services and the it would set up special housekeeping body for stations and trains.
Manufacturing of bio-toilets is part of the green initiatives being undertaken by the nation's largest transporter to improve the cleanliness in rail premises.
Estimated to cost about Rs one lakh per bio-toilet, these new age toilets will be manufactured at Kapurthala coach factory and fitted in long-route trains.
The anaerobic bacteria inside the toilets consume waste material and convert it into water and gas in the bio-toilet system. The water passing through chlorine tank is discharged as clean water and the gas generated evaporates into the atmosphere.
Railways had joined hands with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for development of bio-toilets.
Don't know, don't care. All I know is that expect more death and destruction due to accidents in Indian Railways. Don't be surprised if tomorrow Mamata decides to walk away from the government.Okay if Mr. Trivedi is replaced then what shall happen to the budget he has presented. Does it get accepted or rejected and a new budget presented?
Ok lets take this scenario...7 things to like about Rail Budget

6. Waitlisted? Get booked on an alternate train: The Railway Minister announced the introduction of an Alternate Train Accommodation System (ATAS) as a pilot project in order to accommodate wait-listed passenger on alternate trains instead of leaving them stranded.
What did you like about the Railway Minister's budget?
LOL, good question.Ok lets take this scenario...
I booked a ticket in Train A now if my ticket does not get confirmed then i get a ticket in Train A, now so what about Train 2 passengers??? Does the Train A passenger get first preference?
Everything depends on PM & FM.Okay if Mr. Trivedi is replaced then what shall happen to the budget he has presented. Does it get accepted or rejected and a new budget presented?
Again, I said this in the Anna thread, and I am saying it now. It is these so called poor people, the mindless plebs, who are finally responsible. They will keep voting anyone who keeps the fares low. This is their mentality. Sorry if I sound mean. I don't like to hear the news of people getting killed in accidents, but if there isn't enough funds, the only thing that anyone can guarantee is more accidents and deaths.i cannot understand why various parties of indian remains cut-off from common people . take eg of TMC i know from personal experience that present generation as well as some older generation are ready to spell out few bucks in lieu of facilities specially ac coaches but still parties continue with their poor people mindset.
