Prices of air tickets have crashed. I realized this last week when I was booking tickets to Delhi. Difference between 3rdAC cost of super fast train and that of low cost carrier is barely 400 rupees. While train takes approximately twenty six hours, in flight time is barely two hours.
I could book Air Deccan flight to Delhi for (what I’d call) a cheap price. And saving of twenty-four hours. That means I can travel more. Delightful!
Laloo Yadav (India’s Minister for Railways) should consider this while formulating his budget. At the same time, he must look at reducing travel time by railways. Halts at some of the station are as long as thirty minutes. Isn’t that unnecessary?
