There are speculations about increase in train travel fare. Well, considering that their hasn't been any significant fare hike in the recent years, there has been much development and compared to other means of transport (arguing rickshawallahs and cabwallahs, overpriced flights, etc.) train travel is much better, a small increase in rail fare should not disappoint the daily commuters.

Also, lesser number of new trains are expected this year. but you never know until the rail budget is read out. So let's hope for the best and travel safe.

whatever it may be, Railway is the peoples dearer transport system and the governements are forgetting its development.iresponsible officers are the capital of our railway system now.one of the main health problem creater is Railway as they made toilet from Kasmeer to Kanyakumari and coinside we send our own make rocket to moon.Our ministers are traveling by Air but we have to travel like a snail in this 1900 British aged vehicle having the speed of 50-55 KM .the time is crossed the governementt for ruling railway .let pvt firms rules the railway like Govt given telecom to private so that infrastructure,speed of the train, everythinknk will be changed immediately freight also will get reduced if helthy competition take place.Get lost the budget

The 2012 Indian Railway Budget has been very good for Mumbai city. In addition to 75 new train services, there are concrete infrastructure proposals for the long term viability of suburban local railways in Bombay.

Hope these proposals can be implemented. I guess a lot depends not on the railway minister, but Mamta Banarjee.
