Hit by low occupancy, Bharat Gaurav train fares likely to be slashed by 20-30 pc
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI) The fares of the Bharat Gaurav trains are likely to be slashed by 20-30 per cent after low occupancy forced the IRCTC to cancel at least two of its special tour packages, sources said here. A final decision is yet to be taken.
The Railways’ nod to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to reduce fares of the special train comes barely a year after the service was launched.
So far, the transporter has managed to operate just one service of the train on the Ramayana circuit. The AC-3 tier fare for an 18-day tour in the Bharat Gaurav tourist train is Rs 62,000.
