Lalu hasn't increased rail fares. But, people are paying more. This is how... 1. If you don't book ticket from the starting point of travel, Rs. 10 is charged extra. 2. Tatkal quota is made 3 times the existing quota, so that it's impossible to get regular tkt. Hence, you have to shell out Rs150 more for sleeper and even more for higher classes 3. Just by reducing journey time of 15 hrs by 1/2 hr, the trains are called 'superfast', and the superfast surcharge has to be paid... 4. The cancellation charges are doubled. 5. Introuding the 3rd birth on the side, which is already cramped.
None of these measures are announced in the budget, not even announced publicly, but silently introduced. Lalu is a master politician, adept at hitting below the belt...

Yes you are correct.
The seating arrangement in broad gauge trains was 3 x 2 in a row and in meter gauge train was 2x2 (Chair car). now they have increased one seat in both cwtegories. It is very cramped.
