新德里：根据周二发布的一项命令，在新年前夕，印度铁路公司宣布，从2020年1月1日起，全网票价上调(不包括市郊列车)。

While suburban fares remain unchanged, ordinary non-AC, non-suburban fares were increased by 1 paise per km of journey.

市郊列车票价维持不变，普通非空调、非市郊列车票价每公里增加1派萨（三泰虎注：派萨是印度的货币单位，等于百分之一卢比）。

The railways also announced a two paise/km hike in fares of mail/express non-AC trains and four paise/km hike in the fares of AC classes.

此外，铁路公司还宣布将对非空调特快列车票价上调2派萨/公里，对空调列车票价上调4派萨/公里。

The fare hike is also applicable to premium trains such as Shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duronto, according to the order.

根据该命令，票价上调还适用于沙塔布迪、拉贾达尼和杜伦托等豪华特快列车。

In the Delhi-Kolkata Rajdhani, which covers a distance of 1,447 km, the hike at the rate of 4 paise per km will be around Rs 58.

德里-加尔各答拉贾达尼列车，全长1447公里，每公里上涨4派萨，也就是说票价上涨58卢比左右。

The railways in a statement said the revenue generated by the "marginal" increase in fare will be used for the modernisation of the network.

铁路公司在一份声明中表示，票价“小幅”上涨所产生的收入将用于铁路网络的现代化改造。

The hike will have no effect on the catering charges, officials said.

It's ok about fare hikes. But are rail services gonna improve?

涨价是可以接受的。但是铁路服务会改善吗?

it's just Rs10 for 1000km, why people are still complaining  now don't say poor can't afford Rs20 more for a round trip of 1000km

坐1000公里的路程，才涨价10卢比，为什么人们还抱怨？1000公里往返才涨价20卢比，难道穷人付不起吗？

Last time the fares were hiked in 2014-2015. Read the line- "In the Delhi-Kolkata Rajdhani, which covers a distance of 1,447 km, the hike at the rate of 4 paise per km will be around Rs 58". The hike is quite reasonable.

上次票价上调是在2014-2015年。德里-加尔各答拉贾达尼线路，全长1447公里，每公里上涨4派萨，全程票价上涨才58卢比左右。这次涨价很合理。

Yea.. and tell people to learn some civic rules that they dont destroy public property.. as fares will go up again.

告诉人们学习一些公民守则，不要破坏公共财产，否则票价会再次上涨。

Gopinath Krishna • 5 days ago

Destroying does not only mean of railway property damage, it also means to spit on the roads, throw garbage on the roads, smoking, loud speakers, polluting rivers, using vehicles lavishly, being too much selfish etc. All are part of destroying.. We have to improve to improve the nation.

破坏不仅是对铁路财产的破坏，还包括随地吐痰、乱扔垃圾、吸烟、大声喧哗、污染河流等。所有这些都是破坏，我们应该做好自己，国家才会好起来。

I expected this when the foolish protesters torched train coaches without understanding CAA. Though I welcome the fare hike, the problem is even those who are not part of the agitation need to foot the fare hike. Highly ridiculous!!

当愚蠢的抗议者在不了解公民法修正案的情况下焚烧火车车厢时，我就料到了这一点。虽然我欢迎票价上涨，但问题是，那些没有参与破坏的人也要为票价上涨买单。非常荒谬! !

Fare rise was inevitable. The running cost had gone up a lot in recent years. Besides the wages were raised recently. So one should welcome the raise.

票价上涨是不可避免的。近年来经营成本增加了很多。此外，工资最近也提高了。因此，人们应该欢迎票价上涨。

This increase is nothing as compared to the increase in Bus fares prevailing in Tamilnadu or Maharashtra.

与泰米尔纳德邦或马哈拉施特拉邦公交票价的上涨相比，这一涨幅微不足道。

I support the hike. With amount of changes seen in last few years we should pay a fair price for its services. Good move

我支持票价上调。鉴于过去几年，印度铁路服务大幅改善，我们应该为其买单。

Passenger fares have not been increased for long. This moderate increase should be supported. For long, Passenger fares have been subsidised by freight charges.

票价已经很久没涨了。这种适度的上调应该得到支持。长期以来，客运票价一直由货运补贴。
