It is as simple as get. From Bangalore to Delhi it takes two days to go and fair is around 1,500/- so for a return trip for a couple it would cost around 6,000/-. Now in that they have to spend 4 days in train. At least add the extra cost of eating at stations, books, megazines,etc. etc. It would easily go to 7,500/-
In flight it would take around 12,000/- for return ticket of two. Now even if we consider only husband as working he would loose his 4 leaves for this train. Which can easily be worth another 5K. Now do your math and find out what is better option.
And for even more mathematical satisfaction do check the number of I AC, II AC, and III AC travel data with railways and you would come to know.
I think you must belong to Gandhi-Nehru family who are hellbent on projecting India as poor country so that they can win elections on the basis of "Garibi Hatao" which they never did !!
Dude we are not poors have some self respect and selfesteem. How long you would be under this illusion of poverty do you like being poor, at least I dont want to be poor and would never tolerate if somebody comes and say that India is poor country!
