NEW DELHI: There is no proposal to extend to mail/express and superfast trains the flexi-fares currently applicable only to Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu said today.
He also announced that from April 1 this year, the Railways will introduce an alternative train accommodation system scheme (Vikalp) whereby passengers booked in one train can be shifted to another train in the same category is a seat is available.
He said in the Rajya Sabha that Rs 30,000 crore loss incurred by the Railways cannot be recovered through flexi-fares.
