'Train travel costs less than apples, sugar'
As the government is receiving flak over surge pricing system for premium trains, Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu has 're-tweeted' a chart which shows that train travel cost is cheaper than apples, broom and sugar. The chart states that New Delhi to Agra train fare (194 km at ₹0.44/km) for the general class is ₹85, same as 1 kg of apples.
