The Central Railway (CR) on Wednesday, November 24, announced to change the price of platform tickets at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSMT), Dadar, LTT, Thane, Kalyan and Panvel stations.
However, with the fall in the COVID-19 cases and ease in the restrictions, the CR has decided to revert the platform ticket price from ₹50 to ₹10 at CSTM, LTT and other suburban railway platforms.
The platform ticket price was increased to ₹50 in a bid to limit the crowd on railway platforms amid rising coronavirus cases.
CR in its official statement mentioned that the order will come into effect from today, November 25.
