Kanpur: Fare increased threefold in the name of a special express train running between Kanpur Central and Charbagh railway station in Lucknow.
Daily commuters usually travelling by MEMU are now coughing up the extra fare beyond their imagination. Like a spiral hike in prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas, the railways too has given a jolt to the MEMU train passengers.
If the previous fare up to Charbagh was 20 rupees it has gone up to forty-five rupees now.
Reacting to this increase, V Sinha, PRO, NR said that the fare was hiked owing to the running of a special train.
