Rail Commuters Face Challenges Due to Distance Caps on Season Tickets

Rail Commuters Face Challenges Due to Distance Caps on Season Tickets

Imagine you take the train to work or school every day.

The railway company has a special ticket called a season ticket, which is cheaper if you travel often.

But, these tickets only cover a certain distance, like 150 kilometers.

This causes problems for people who need to travel between cities that are further apart, like Thiruvananthapuram and Ernakulam.

Because the distance is over the limit, commuters have to spend more money on tickets or find workarounds to travel.

Commuters suggest that the railway should extend the distance of the season tickets so people can travel comfortably.
