Railway Passengers Get Relief: Modi Govt's Sensational Decision on RAC, Superfast Trains
- •Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) criticizes Indian Railways over RAC ticket pricing and superfast train classification.
- •PAC states collecting full fare for RAC tickets without confirmed berths is unjustifiable; recommends partial refunds for RAC passengers.
- •Committee objects to superfast train classification, noting 123 trains don't meet the 55 km/h average speed set in 2007.
- •PAC urges Railways to remove underperforming trains from superfast category and reduce fares accordingly, aiming for 100 km/h average speed by 2030.
- •The report highlights the Railway Department's failure to implement its own rules and calls for fundamental changes for passenger convenience.
