Only 5 services in a day

The WR officials have decided to run only five services of the AC local in a day. However, commuters are still unhappy about the tickets.

Ticketless travellers were not spared

There were many commuters who were unaware of the AC local fares and so many of them boarded the local at one station and got down on another station. Finally, railway officials started announcing about the fares and asked the commuters to buy the ticket and travel. The WR officials said that on the first day 579 commuters bought 446 tickets and earned 62,746.
